Karapu Lit: Ngā Wahine o te Awa
Exeter, California
He rite tonu te kaha o ēnei wāhine whakamiharo ki te tuku koha ki te hunga e aroha ana ki te pānui pukapuka me te kōrero mō ngā pukapuka. Tūtaki ki a Ladies of the River nō Exeter, California.
Nā tō ingoa, ki taku whakaaro kei te noho koutou katoa i te awa. Ko tēhea?
E toru ngā awa e noho ana mātou—ko Kaweah, ko Tule, me St. John's. E toru ngā tāone e rere ana i waenganui o California.
Kua roa koe e mahi ana. Tokohia ngā mema?
I tīmata mātou i te tau 2013, ā, i tēnei rā e iwa mātou.
Kōrero mai mō ngā poroporo ātaahua i te whakaahua o runga?
He mea hanga ā-ringa ēnei mai i Uganda. I tukuna mai e tētahi o ō mātou mema he moni ki Pīra mō te Ora, e āwhina ana i ngā wāhine o Uganda ki te tautoko i a rātou anō.
He wāhanga o te tikanga a te rōpū tana koha.
Āe. Hei whakanui i te rā whānau o ia mema, ka whiriwhiria e mātou he kaupapa hei koha moni, kaua ki te hoko koha.
I homai e tetahi mema katoa i roto i te karapu pukapuka he pēke moni whatu ataahua kei roto $50—kia taea ai e mātou te koha moni ki tētahi whakahaere e pai ana ki a mātou.tirohia te whakaahua o Carol i roto i te kāmisole mā e pupuri ana i tana pēke).
I kohaina e Carol tana $50 ki a Bead for Life; i tukuna e Diane tāna ki a Ngā HeroRAT—ngā kiore i whakangungua ki te hongi i ngā maina whenua.
Ka koha rōpū anō hoki koutou, tika?
Āe. Ka whakaaweawe mai ā mātou pukapuka i a mātou...
♦ I muri i te korero Te Kaihanga Kākahu o Khair Khana, i tukuna atu e mātou he moni ki Te rangimarie hei tautoko i ngā mahi a ngā wāhine i Afghanistan.
♦ I tukuna atu hoki e mātou he moni ki te ALS Association i muri i te pānui Kia tae rā anō ki taku poroporoaki...
♦ I koha mātou ki tētahi putea karahipi mātauranga i muri mai Waimarie Rua: Ngā Whakamaharatanga o tētahi Pani Hainamana.
Āe...ka ara ake te kaupapa mō ngā pukapuka. He aha ngā mea kua pānuihia e koe i ēnei rā?
Anei tā mātou rārangi mai i te tau kua hipa:
Ka Puta He Ara
He epitaph mō te pītiti
Ko H mo Hawk
Te Tahae i ngā Hōiho
Rōhi Tuscan
Kāreti Karāhe
Poetaka
manawanui
Ture Tamariki
Waimarie Rua: Ngā Mahara o tētahi
Pani Hainamana
Te karaehe '65
He aha ngā mea tino pai i roto i ngā tau?
I aroha matou Ka Puta He Ara nā Nicholas Kristof rāua ko Sheryl DuWunn (tāne me te wahine). He nui ngā mea i akohia mai e mātou mō ngā tāngata me ngā whakahaere e mahi ana ki te whakapai ake i te ao. I whakamāramahia hoki ngā mea ka taea e mātou te mahi hei āwhina.
Ko tetahi atu tino pai Poetaka nā Kristin Hannah. Ehara i te mea he mea whakamere noa iho, engari i ako anō hoki mātou mō tētahi wā hītori kāore i te mōhiotia e te tini o mātou.
I aroha matou Nga Tamaroa i roto i te Poti nā Daniel James Brown—he kōrero whakamiharo mō tētahi tīma hoe waka kāore i te tino pai te ekenga ki ngā Ōrimipia!
I te pae hopea, Te Ture Tamariki nā Ian McEwan: he tere te pānui, ā, i arahi atu ki tētahi kōrero nui mō te tika me te hē, me ngā atarangi hina i waenganui.
Ngā pouri?
Ae, Ko H mo Hawk nā Helen Macdonald i whiwhi arotake pai rawa atu, ā, he tino pūkenga te kaituhi, he mātauranga hoki ōna. Engari i whakaaro mātou nā te whakaurunga o te kōrero mō te oranga o TH White i whakararu i te rere o te pukapuka. I tumanako mātou ka nui ake ngā tuhinga a Helen mō tōna matua, kaua mō White.
ano, Outlander nā Dianna Gabaldon i whakararuraru i tētahi mema. I whakaaro ia he mea whakahihiri te mahi tāwharau.
Ā, me pēhea rā ngā kōrerorero tino pai?
He tino pai ā mātou kōrero i ia wā ka tūtaki mātou! Ka Puta He Ara he tino whai rawa: i pānuihia e mātou ia upoko, kātahi ka whakapuaki i ā mātou i ako. E rua ngā hui pukapuka i pau hei whakaoti i tā mātou kōrero.
Te Karaehe o te '65: He Tauira, he Tāone Wehewehe, me te Huarahi Roa ki te Murunga Hara nā Jim Auchmutey—mō te kaikiri, te tukino, me te murunga hara—i tino pā ki a mātou. I kōrero tahi mātou me te kaituhi me te toa o te ao, a Jim Whittkamper i runga i te Skype.
Te Ture Tamariki he tino whakamīharo. I te taha o tā mātou kaiārahi kōrero, ko Diane, i whakakakahu i a ia anō hei Kaiwhakawā o te Kōti Matua, a Fiona Maye (tirohia te whakaahua tuarua mai i raro), i tautohetohe mātou mēnā he tika tana whakataunga ā-ture.
Kei hea koutou e tū ai ngā hui?
Ka tūtaki tātou ki te Cappella Coffee House i Exeter, Calif.
He ture?
Kotahi anake—e ngana ana mātou ki te whakawhāiti i te rahi o ā mātou pukapuka ki te 300-400 whārangi. Kua pānuihia e mātou ētahi pukapuka e 800-900 whārangi i mua, engari nā te pukumahi o ō mātou oranga ka uaua te kimi i te wā e hiahiatia ana.
He tino whai tikanga tōu ki ō wānanga kōrero.
Ae. E hiahia ana mātou kia whakaohooho, kia whakaoho whakaaro hoki rātou. Nō reira... ka whakarite pai ia kaiārahi. Ka tīmata ia mā te kōrero mai ki a mātou he aha i whiriwhiria ai e ia te pukapuka; kātahi ka whakapuaki mai i ngā kōrero mō te kaituhi, ā, tera pea ka whakaatu i tētahi riipene ataata. Hei whakamutunga, ka tahuri mātou ki ngā kaupapa kōrero/pātai. Ko H mo Hawk he tauira pai: i mātaki mātou i tētahi wāhanga poto o tētahi uiuinga me te kaituhi a Helen Macdonald me tētahi wāhanga tuarua o tētahi Goshawk e rere ana.
Hei whakamutunga, he aha te whakaaro e hiahia ana koe ki te waiho mai ki a mātou?
He rite tō mātou rōpū ki tētahi karapu pukapuka noa iho. I a mātou e pānui pukapuka ana, e kōrero ana mō ngā pukapuka, ka tuwhera ō mātou whakaaro tetahi ki tetahi. Kua hangaia he hononga tautoko, he hononga aroha me te whakaute. Nō nā tata nei, i kōrero mātou mō Te Whare Karaihe, ā, i puta mai ētahi roimata. Nā Michelle i ārahi me tētahi whakaaturanga PowerPoint, ā, nā tēnā i aro tonu mātou.
