Karapu Lit: Ngā Pūāhua Whakamere
He pai nga korero
I NGĀ TAU I MURI I TE KURA TAPUTAPU me/ranei te kāreti, ka hoki tahi ngā hoa tawhito tetahi ki tetahi, ā, ka whakatūria he karapu pukapuka ipurangi. I marara noa atu rātou i te Tai Rāwhiti, ā, i tūtaki rātou ki Cape May, New Jersey, he wāhi rongonui..
Ka kōrero mātou ki te kaiwhakaū o te rōpū, ki a Amy Eschinger.
Ka "tūtaki" koe i runga ipurangi, tika?
Āe—i runga i a Goodreads. Tekau mā whā ō mātou mema katoa. Engari e waru mātou—ngā mema matua—e whai wāhi tonu ana, e kaha ana hoki.
Kōrerotia mai tō pūrākau—me pēhea koe i whakatū ai i te rōpū.
He tangata tino aroha ahau ki te pukapuka, ā, i ngaro taku hiahia ki taku karapu pukapuka. I kite ahau he huihuinga pāpori noa iho, ehara i te rōpū kōrero pukapuka nui. I hiahia ahau ki tētahi mea nui ake.
Na ka tupu te aha?
I te tau 2013 i tae atu ahau ki tētahi hui kura rongoā, ā, he maha ngā wā i noho tahi ai mātou ko ōku hoa tawhito ki te kōrero pukapuka. I taku taenga ki te kāinga, ka mea taku tāne, "Kei te mōhio koe, ko aua tāngata te karapu pukapuka tino pai māu."
He tika rawa tana! Ā, nā te mea he tawhiti ōrite te wehenga o mātou katoa, te āhua nei ko tētahi rōpū ipurangi te otinga tino pai.
Kei te pēhea te haere o te mahi?
He mīharo. He oranga porangi tō tātou katoa: he tākuta te haurua o tātou, he mahi kē atu tā te haurua, ā, he māmā pukumahi te nuinga o tātou.
Nō reira, he tino pai te mahi a te ipurangi mō te matapaki pukapuka—e tuku ana i a tātou ki te tuhi kōrero i tō tātou ake wā. Kāore tātou e hiahia ki te ngaro i te wā nā te mea he iti noa te wā e tūtaki ai tātou i tētahi wāhi, i tētahi wā rānei.
Hei tāpiri, ka taea e ngā mema te whakapau i te wā e hiahia ana rātou ki te tuku kōrero whai kiko, whai kiko hoki mō te pukapuka o nāianei.
Kei te whai koe i tētahi tikanga motuhake?
E toru ngā kaupapa e kōrerohia ana e mātou mō ngā pukapuka.
Ka tīmata mātou me te miro FIRST IMPRESSIONS hei tuku kōrero māu ina tīmata te pukapuka.
Hei te mutunga o te marama, ka tīmata te KŌRERO, tae atu ki ngā pātai.
Ka mutu tā mātou kōrero mō NGĀ WHAKAARO WHAKAMUTUNGA mō ngā mea katoa e pā mai ana ki a mātou.
Āe, me kōrero tāua mō tāu i pānui ai.
Anei tā mātou rārangi mō ngā marama 12 kua pahure ake nei:
Kua ako
Whānau Whānau
Paamu Whakamarie Matao
Ngā mea whakarihariha me ngā mea whakamiharo katoa
Ia Note Kua Whakatangihia
Tuhinga o mua
Tukua te Ao Nui kia Huri
Taumaha Atomika o te Aroha
Te Ara Ake o te Rāmino
Tangata Moni
Ā, me pēhea ētahi o ngā mea tino pai i ngā tau kua pahure ake nei?
He tini ā mātou pukapuka tino pai, he uaua ki te whiriwhiri, engari ki taku whakaaro ko ā mātou pukapuka tino pai rawa atu ko Whakaora i ngā Wheua na Jesmyn Ward, Tukua te Ao Nui kia Huri nā Colum McCann, Puawai mo Algernon nā Daniel Keyes, me Te Rātaka Pono Tino o tētahi Inia Wā-Wāhanga nā Sherman Alexie.
He aha ngā mea e pouri ana koe?
He torutoru ā mātou i roto i ngā tau. I whakaaro mātou Mennonite i roto i te Kākahu Pango Iti he tamariki tonu ia, ā, nā te wairua whakakatakata kino o Rhoda Janzen i whakaiti te aro ki ngā take nui ake i mua—i roto ia i tētahi whanaungatanga tukino.
Ahakoa Tangata Moni nā Pawan Mishra i tino whiwhi i te whakatauranga pai i runga i te Goodreads (kāore e taea te whakawhirinaki ki ngā whakatauranga), engari ki a mātou, kāore i eke ki te taumata te whakaaro whakakatakata: i rite mātou ki te mea kua ngaro tetahi mea i a mātou.
Piko ki te Awa He uaua te pukapuka nā VS Naipaul mō te nuinga o mātou. Kāore i tino mōhiotia e mātou te kaupapa, ā, he uaua ki a mātou te wehe i a mātou anō mai i ngā āhua whakahāwea wahine a te kaituhi.
I puta mai i tētahi o āu pukapuka he kōrero tino pai?
Kua ako He kōrero pono, he kōrero whakamiharo, he kōrero pai hoki. Nā te mea kua maha ā mātou akoranga teitei, i kitea e mātou he mea whakamīharo te kōrero a Tara. He nui ā mātou kōrero mō te pukapuka whakamaharatanga, tōna tika, me te mea he mea nui, he mea taea rānei te tika. Hei whakamutunga, e mihi tonu ana mātou ki te wahine toa kaha.
I whakaekea e ētahi o mātou Toto Meridiana nā Cormac McCarthy. Koinei te pukapuka tino wero rawa atu kua pānuihia e mātou i ngā taumata maha. Engari ko te hunga i manawanui, i whakawhiwhia ki ētahi tuhinga whakamiharo me te hononga i tae atu ai ki te mutunga—he tohu tēnei ka taea e mātou te pānui i ngā pukapuka uaua, hinengaro hoki i waho o tō mātou rohe whakamarie.
Me pēhea tāu whiriwhiri i āu pukapuka?
Ia marama, ka kawea mai e tētahi mema rerekē e rima ngā whakaaro, ā, ka pōti mātou mā te pōti hei whiriwhiri i te toa. I ētahi wā ka tukuna e mātou katoa ngā whakaaro mō tētahi marama kaupapa (ngā pukapuka kua aukatia, ngā pukapuka kei roto ngā kupu o te takurua i roto i ngā taitara, me ētahi atu).
He ranunga pai o te hunga e pai ana ki ngā pukapuka tawhito, ngā pukapuka hou a ngā wāhine, me ngā pukapuka pono. He whānuitanga ā mātou pukapuka hei pānui i ia tau.
Kei te whai wāhi te rōpū ki ētahi mahi motuhake?
Ko ngā mema e nui ana te pānui pukapuka ka uru atu ki ngā Wero Pānui i roto i te karapu. Ko te tikanga he wero pukapuka 22-26 e whakaotihia ana i roto i te tau kotahi. Ko te hunga e whakaoti ana i te wero ka whiwhi i tētahi taonga iti.
Ia Hui-tanguru ka whakanuia e mātou tō mātou huritau me ngā pātaitai tuhituhi me ngā kēmu. Ko tētahi o aku tino pai ko te haiku mema. Ka tito katoa mātou i ngā haiku mō mātou anō, mō tētahi mea rānei e pā ana ki ō mātou oranga i taua wā.
I tīmata noa ahau i tētahi āhuatanga hou e kīia nei ko te Monthly Lit Chat, e kōrero ana mātou mō ētahi kaupapa e pā ana ki te pānui pukapuka pēnei i te "me pēhea koe i aroha ai ki te pānui pukapuka," "ko wai te kiripuaki pakiwaitara e hiahia ana koe ki te noho tahi mō te rā, ā, he aha ai? He aha tāu e mahi ai ki a ia," me ētahi atu.
Waihoki, e ai ki taku kōrero i mua ake nei, ka pānuihia e mātou ngā pukapuka kaupapa, ko te tikanga he pukapuka aukati mō te marama o Hepetema, ā, ko tētahi atu pukapuka anō hoki i te tau.
I tūtaki ētahi o koutou ki Cape May, NJ. He aha te tikanga o tēnā?
Ko tō mātou huritau rima tau tēnei, nō reira i whakatau mātou ki te whakanui me te haereere. I whiriwhiria e mātou a Cape May, NJ, nā te mea ko te pokapū o te tāone, ā, he tata ki te taraiwa mō te nuinga o mātou. He pai ki ngā mema te tūtaki. E mōhio ana rātou katoa ki ahau, engari he tokomaha kāore anō kia tūtaki i te ao tūturu, ā, kua roa e kōrero tahi ana mō ngā pukapuka.
Kei a mātou ngā mahere mō ngā hararei tuhituhi ā-wā a muri ake nei!
He rōpū aroha tino pai anō tāu. Me pēhea te mahi?
Ka akiaki ahau i ngā mema kia tautoko i tētahi rōpū aroha tuhituhi e arohaina ana e ngā tākuta, Whakapā atu ki a koe, pānuihiaHe whakahaere kore-moni tēnei rōpū, e whakauru ana i ngā pukapuka ki roto i te tiaki tamariki hei akiaki i ngā whānau ki te pānui tahi.
He kupu whakamutunga mā INTERESTING CHARACTERS ki ā tātou kaipānui?
Āe. Ka akiaki ahau i te hunga pānui nui e pānui ana i tēnei kia whakaaro ki te whakauru atu ki tētahi karapu pukapuka ipurangi, ki te waihanga rānei i tētahi.
Ki te hiahia koe ki te kōrero nui mō ngā pukapuka, he pukumahi hoki tō kaupapa mahi, ā, kāore anō kia kitea he karapu tūturu e pai ana māu, he rōpū ipurangi pea te mea tino pai.
He maha ngā whakamātautau i mahia kia kitea ai te mea e tino pai ana mō tā mātou rōpū, engari he tino ngahau te tukanga.
