8. Te tū ki te ngahere i te ahiahi hukarere - Robert Frost, 1956; ngā whakaahua nā Susan Jeffers, 1978

Tērā pea ka whakahē ngā Purists ki tōna reo reka-iti, engari he kupu whakataki ataahua ki a Frost—he pukapuka angiangi hei pānui anō, hei pānui anō, he pai mō ngā pakeke me ngā tamariki.Uhi mārō, 32 whārangi; 8.6 x 7.3 x 0.4 inihi.)

9. Te Anahera Kuware Rawa - Christopher Moore, 2004
Ki te mea kua hoha koe ki ngā kare ā-roto katoa, ā, me hiahia koe ki tētahi kupu whakahihi, anei te pukapuka Kirihimete tino whakahihi—he anahera e rapu ana i tētahi merekara, me tētahi tamaiti e tino mōhio ana kua kite ia i tētahi e haere ana i a Hāta.

10. Tekau mā Rua Ngā Rā o te Kirihimete - I whakaahuahia e Jan Brett, 1997
Me noho tēnei putanga whakaahua o te waiata Kirihimete Ingarihi o te rautau 18 ki roto i ō ringaringa—inaianei! He tino ātaahua, he kanapa, he whai kiko hoki ngā whakaahua a Jan Brett, ā, ka kitea koe e haria ana ki tētahi ao kē—he ao o te harikoa parakore, o te ataahua. He putanga iti hoki, 6 x 5-inihi te rahi, engari whiriwhiria te paerewa. He aha koe ka whakaiti ai i tētahi mea tino ataahua? (Uhi mārō, 32 whārangi, 10 x 8 x 0.2 inihi.)

Kua mahue atu i ahau he maha ngā mea pai, he maha ngā pukapuka pakiwaitara (nā John Grisham Te peke i te Kirihimete, nā Jason Wright Ngā Ipu Kirihimete). Kua tangohia atu hoki e au tā Jean Shepherd Kōrero Kirihimete, he pukapuka pakiwaitara tēnei o ngā kōrero motuhake, ehara i te mea he mea mō ngā hararei katoa, i kohia mō te kiriata. Kāore anō kia pānuihia e au te "pukapuka", engari he pai ki ahau te kiriata.

Mōku nei ia, Ko te makutu tūturu o te Kirihimete kei roto i ngā kōrero e pārekareka ana ki ngā tamariki, tae atu ki ngā pakeke...he kōrero hei pānui anō, hei pānui anō. Ki taku whakaaro, koinei te whakamārama i te nuinga o aku kōwhiringa.

He pai ki a mātou te whakarongo mō āu tino pai. Whakamōhio mai ki a mātou i runga i tā mātou whārangi Pukamata ko ēhea ngā pūrākau Kirihimete e pai ana ki a koe.

Hei tuku noa e mōhio ana te katoa…kua eke tātou ki te tohu 800! Koinā te maha o Kaiarahi Panui kei runga i tā mātou paetukutuku matua, arā, ko LitLovers. 

Ka tāpirihia e mātou he aratohu hou i ngā wā katoa, e pupuri ana i ngā taitara pukapuka e hiahia ana ngā karapu pukapuka ki te pānui. He maha ka tāpirihia mā te tono mai a ō mātou kaiwhakamahi.

Kei muri mai he pae rapu—he pae rapu pakeke hei whakangāwari ake i te kimi i te taitara me te aratohu e rapuhia ana e koe.

Heoi…1,000…tēnei mātou!

* I tēnei rā, 11/1/2013, e 2,200 ngā Aratohu Pānui a LitLovers.!

 

Whakamahia koe ki tētahi ahiahi haere ki tō whare pukapuka o te rohe. Whai muri i tētahi rā mahi uaua, he mea whakahauora te rangimārie me te ata noho e tukuna ana e te whare pukapuka. 

Haere marie mā roto i ngā puranga ... mā te tirotiro rānei i ngā hautaka ... me whakapau wā ki te tūhura i ngā rauemi katoa. Ā, ki te rite tō whare pukapuka ki te mea kei waenganui o tōku tāone, he wharekai pai kei reira me ngā kai reka, ngā keke, me ngā hanawiti.

Haere hei karapu pukapuka, Me whakarite rānei hei rā mō te tokorua—he pō iti te utu. Ki te mea he mātua koe, haria ngā tamariki. Ki te mea he takakau koe, kei hea koe e kitea ai he wāhi whakamarie ake hei whakangahau noa iho?

Ka hoki mai ahau ki te kāinga i ngā wā katoa kei te hou te wairua… ā, kua ora anō hoki ki ngā whakaaro hou mō ngā pukapuka me ngā mea hei tuhituhi – pērā i tēnei pou rangitaki!

Āe, koia tētahi o ngā whare pukapuka e whakamahia ana e au kei te pikitia o runga—te Whare Pukapuka Matua o Carnegie i Pittsburgh (he tama nō Pittsburgh a Andrew, kia mōhio ai koe).

Nā Kristie Sphuler mō LitLovers
E mōhio ana mātou he aha koe te whakaaro...nā te mea kei te whakaaro anō hoki mātou. I roto i ngā rā torutoru e wātea ana koe mō ngā hararei, kāore ianei e pai ki te whakapau i aua rā me tētahi pukapuka pai? Moe tonu, e te kaipānui.

Mā ngā mahi whakarihariha mō ngā hararei ka tino pōturi rawa tō wā waatea... ā, ka nui ake te wā e pau ana i ō pukapuka ki ō tohuwāhi i te wā ki a koe anō.

Ki te mea he tangata hiahia nui koe ki te pānui pukapuka, (kaua e manukanuka—pērā anō hoki mātou) tērā pea ka rite tō hararei ki tēnei.

whakapaipai
Āe, ko koe tēnā, e hikoi ana i roto i te ua...te hukapapa...te hukarere rānei ki te tua i tētahi rākau (ki te hoko mai rānei i tētahi kokonga whenua), ka haria ki te kāinga ka whakapaipai—nā te mea katoa koutou Ko te pukapuka tino pai ki ahau, arā, te rākau pukapuka, kāore i te eke ki ngā paerewa o te whānau. Ka pau te wā nui ki te pānui i taua mahi iti nei.

Kātahi ka kitea te mātakitaki i te tangata e tārai ana i ngā whārangi o ngā pukapuka hei whakapaipai. (He pukapuka... he pono?! He pukapuka?!) Haere tonu (kei te whakaaro koe), haehaea noa tōku ngākau i a koe e mahi ana.

Me te
Ngā mea whakakī tōkena katoa, me te nuinga o ngā koha koe Hoatu, haere mai i te toa pukapuka. He hokohoko kotahi tēnei—he tere te whakaoti—kia taea ai e koe te hoki ki taua pukapuka e pānuihia ana e koe. Ā, he pai katoa nā te mea kāore he mea e pai ake ana te kī he aroha atu i te koha o te tuhituhi.

Whiwhi
Ae, ko tāu e tino tumanako ana kia kite i raro i te rākau—me koutou ingoa kei runga—he puranga pukapuka NUI. Āe, e maumahara ana tātou ki te whiunga o te pouri mai i ngā Kirihimete o mua...i te wā kāore i honoa te koha ki te rama. Āe, ki te kore koe e whiwhi pukapuka i tēnei tau, whakamarietia koe: kei a koe tonu te heke mai o te Kirihimete.

Hararei Motuhake
Mō ngā Kirihimete o mua me ngā Kirihimete o muri mai: me whai wā, me manawanui hoki ki te whakatenatena i tō whānau he nui atu i te KOTAHI pukapuka me ngā kaupapa Kirihimete pai. Nā Charles Dickens i mahi e kore kokonga te mākete! (Ahakoa he pukapuka tino pai tonu...ā, he pukapuka pai hoki mō te whānau katoa. Me pānui e te katoa.)

Cooking
Te tunu pihikete ā, ka nui ake te wā e pau ana i te mahi kai Kirihimete i tō hiahia. Kia tūpato noa iho—kaua e tino whakararuraruhia e tō oranga pakiwaitara i a koe e tunu kai ana i roto i tō oranga tūturu, i te kore rānei... āe....

Haumaru ki te tuatahi, e hoa mā. Haumaru ki te tuatahi.

Āe, e te hunga aroha ki ngā mea ora katoa—he tino uaua te hararei. Engari ka taea e koutou te wikitoria. Ka taea tonu e koutou. Kia mahara, kei te tatari mai he pukapuka pai ina oti katoa.

Ngā mihi o te Kirihimete. Kia hari te pānui ina oti katoa!

pātai:  Ka taea e koe te kī kua "pānui" koe i tētahi pukapuka ina whakarongo koe ki taua pukapuka? Ka kiia te whakarongo he "pānui"—ā, ka whai hua rānei mō te kōrero i roto i tētahi karapu pukapuka?

whakahoki:  Āe, kua oti kē i a tātou te pukapuka! I roto i te ao pukumahi, he mea nui tēnā.

I tetahi atu ringa...he maha ngā mahi e mahia ana e tātou i te wā e whakarongo ana, arā, kāore te pukapuka e aro katoa mai ana ki a tātou. Tuarua, ka pānui tātou i tō tātou ake tere: ka mutu, ka whakaaroaro, ka pānui anō, ka tuhi rānei i tētahi tuhipoka. He uaua ki te whakamahi i te oro i a tātou e taraiwa ana. Tuatoru, i roto i te kōrero pukapuka, he ngāwari ki te katoa te tahuri ki tētahi kōrero motuhake i runga i tētahi whārangi. Kāore i te tino ngāwari ki te oro.

E rua atu ngā whakaaro:  E ai ki ngā kaitōrangapū, ka taea e te reo o te kaikorero te awe kino i te āhua o tā tātou wheako i tētahi mahi. Ā, hei whakamutunga, e kitea ana he pai ake te mahi a ō tātou mahara i te wā e pānui ana, kaua i te wā e whakarongo ana. He pono rawa tēnei mō ngā pakeke me ngā ākonga pakeke ake (ahakoa kāore anō kia tino mārama te rangahau).

Nō reira, kaua e noho hei purist, ko taku tohutohu kia pai ki te whakarongo ki ngā pukapuka oro i ngā wā katoa e hiahia ana koe—engari pānuihia te putanga tānga ina tae mai ki tāu whiringa karapu pukapuka. (Tirohia Ngā Tohutohu Kōrero mō LitLovers.)  

He nui ā tātou pānui mō ngā whakaaro o ngā karapu pukapuka mō ngā kaituhi (me ā rātou pukapuka). Engari anei tētahi mea hou—e kōrero mai ana te kaituhi a Cathy Lamb ki a tātou mō ONA whakaaro mō ngā karapu pukapuka. . . .

Anei tētahi mea ngaro itiHe pai ki ahau te toro atu ki ngā rōpū pukapuka.

Ka kōrero ahau me ngā wāhine i konei i Oregon me te motu whānui. I roto i ngā tau kua pahure ake nei kua rongo au i ētahi kōrero tino rorirori—anei ētahi o ngā mea tino rorirori:

"He tangata pōrangi taku tāne. He rite ia ki a Slick Dick i roto i te Te Wā Whakamutunga Ko Au Ahau. "

"Ka riri taku tāne i ētahi wā mō te roa o te wā e noho tahi ana mātou me ngā tamariki, engari ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, 'Ka awhi mai ngā tamariki i ahau, ā, e hiahia ana kia pānuitia e au he pūrākau ki a rātou, engari e hiahia tonu ana koe ki te moe tāne. Ae, he pai ake ki ahau te pānui i ngā pūrākau.'"

"I haere mai ngā tāngata o te tari ahi ki te tiaki i taku tāne, ANŌ, engari i mōhio ahau i whakaaro rātou he porangi ia. I whakaaro ia kei te pāngia anō ia e te mate manawa. Ko tana tuatoru tēnei i taua wiki. Kāore rātou i kōrero, engari i rongo ahau: Kei te manukanuka taku tāne mō tōna manukanuka. Koinei te mea e tere rawa ai te pao o tōna manawa."

"He nui rawa te heu o taku tamāhine i ōna waewae. He rerekē tēnā?"

"Me tango atu rānei ō tātou koti pērā i tā rātou i mahi ai i roto i Ngā Tiakarete a Julia? "

"Kua whakaaetia te tarukino i Oregon. Ki tō whakaaro me whakarite he karapu pukapuka tahi mō te hui a te karapu pukapuka e whai ake nei?"

"I oma tahanga koe i te taha o te awa, e Cathy, pērā i a Jeanne i roto i Te Wā Whakamutunga Ko Au Ahau? "

"Āe, kātahi anō ka pau i a mātou tētahi atu pounamu waina!"

"E mōhio ana koe ki te kaiwhakaora moepuku i roto i tō pukapuka, e Cathy? Nā te aha koe i ako ai i ēnā mea katoa?"

He maha aku haerenga ki ngā rōpū pukapuka i te tau. Mena kei roto rātou i te rua tekau meneti mai i tōku kāinga, ka haere ahau ki tō rātou kāinga. Ki te kore, ka whakamahi mātou i te Skype, ka kōrero rānei mā te waea kōrero.

Kua Skype ahau me ngā wāhine i Niu Ioka me Massachusetts, i Florida me California, he puranga katoa o ētahi atu kawanatanga, me Kanata. Me i reira he rōpū pukapuka i runga i te aorangi a Pluto, ka Skype anō hoki ahau ki reira.

Tenei te aha Kua ako ahau: He tino rerekē ngā rōpū pukapuka katoa tetahi i tetahi, he tino rerekē rawa atu.

Kei a rātou katoa ngā whāinga rerekē. He tino hinengaro/tuhituhi ētahi rōpū pukapuka. Kua noho ahau, ā, kua whakaharatauhia mō ngā mea katoa mai i te whanaketanga o ngā kiripuaki me te kōrero, ki te reo, te tohu, ngā kupu whakarite, te tere o te tuhi, te hanganga, ko wai aku kaituhi tuhituhi tino pai me te take, me ētahi atu.

Na i reira e ngā rōpū e kōrero ana mō te pukapuka i te haurua o te wā, ā, ko te haurua anō o te wā e kōrerorero ana, e kata ana.

He atu ano ngā rōpū e pānui ana i te pukapuka, e kōrero ana mō te tekau mā rima meneti, kātahi ka ruku ki roto i ō rātou oranga. He rōpū pāpori tā rātou rōpū pukapuka. Āe. Ko ētahi o rātou kāore e huna ana i tēnā i ēnei rā.

Na i reira e ngā rōpū wāhine e hiahia ana ki te tūtaki ki ahau, kāore e hiahia ki te kōrero nui mō te pukapuka, ā, i hiahia ahau ki ētahi atu waina? Me pēhea ētahi atu karāhe? Pia? Vodka? Kei a rātou anō tēnā. (Kāore au e inu waipiro, engari ka whakapau kaha rātou ki te whakahari i ahau.)

Tetahi o oku Ko ngā rōpū tino pai ko te noho tahi me te kai tina. I tae mai rātou me te kata, ā, i inu waina nui. He rōpū pukapuka ā-rohe, kāore he tangata i taraiwa, ā, i hoki pōturi rātou ki te kāinga me te waiata me te kōrero. I hiahia rātou ki tētahi hoa wahine pai hei toro atu. Kāore au i hae ki a rātou mō ā rātou Hangovers Rōpū Pukapuka.

He pukapuka ano ko te rōpū ko te Rōpū Pukapuka Kata. I mamae tōku puku i taku wehenga atu, ā, i kata nui mātou. Neke atu i te rima tekau tau te pakeke o rātou katoa, ā, he ngahau te ao.

I haere ahau i tētahi wā ki tētahi rōpū pukapuka i tino ata noho, tata pōuri. Kāore tetahi i kata. Kāore rawa. I tino aro rātou ki tā rātou pānui. I kite ahau ko taku pukapuka, Ngā Tiakarete a Julia, he tino porangi rawa mō ētahi o rātou. Kāore pea rātou i pai ki, Pō Matakite Mana Uma? Tērā pea, Ō Homoni me Koe: Te Whakaruruhau, Te Whakahaere, he nui rawa? He tino whakairoiro rawa ngā whakaaturanga aroha? Kāore au i te tino mōhio.

ētahi rōpū he iti, tokowhā noa iho ngā wāhine, ko ētahi e toru tekau neke atu rānei. Ko te awhe tau i te nuinga o ngā rōpū he rerekē mai i ngā wāhine kei roto i ō rātou rua tekau tau ki ngā wāhine kei roto i ō rātou whitu tekau tau.

Kei te hiahia ratou kia mōhio ai ahau ki te āhua o aku whakaaro (te whakaaro porangi), me pēhea taku tuhi i te pukapuka, (me te āta whakaaro, me te kore e aro nui) he aha te āhua o tōku ao o ia rā (pērā i ō rātou), he mea hanga aku kiripuaki i ngā tāngata tūturu (kāo), me ētahi atu.

Ahakoa rā, e ngā wāhine, he harikoa ki ahau te haere ki ā koutou rōpū pukapuka. Īmēra mai ki ahau mā taku paetukutuku, ā, mā mātou e whakarite he wā.

Panui koa.

• Tāpirihia he "papa pānui" mō ngā pukapuka e pānuihia ana e koe—he wāhi kei reira mō ngā taitara (hei tauira, mō ngā taitara, mō te rā hui me te wāhi noho rānei).
• Tāpirihia ngā kōrero mō ia pukapuka. Ka taea e te mema katoa te tuku kōrero; he rite tonu ki a Pukamata.
• Tāpirihia ngā papa e hiahia ana koe—ki te whārangi kotahi. Tāpirihia te papa tuarua mō ngā whakaaro pukapuka pea, te tuatoru mō ngā whakaahua karapu, me te tuawhā mō ngā tohutao e pā ana ki te pukapuka. Ahakoa he aha.
• Tāpirihia ngā papa mō ia mema—ki te whārangi Pinterest kotahi me tō karapu pukapuka. Ka taea e ngā mema te whakamahi i ā rātou ake papa ki te "pine" i ngā mea katoa...mai i ngā pukapuka e pānuihia ana e rātou anake, ki ngā koha e pā ana ki te pukapuka, ki ngā whakaahua whaiaro rānei.

Tirohia tētahi whakaahua o tētahi whārangi Pinterest paerewa. Pāwhiritia ngā pouaka hina kau hei tāpiri i tētahi "papa pānui" hou me tētahi taitara mō tō papa. Kātahi ka pinea.

Kei te titiro he uaua ake i tōna āhua. Whakapono mai... ki te taea e au, ka taea hoki e koe. Haere ki te Whārangi Āwhina Pinterest hei tīmatangaKa kitea e koe i raro i te "Mō" i te kokonga matau o runga. Whāia ngā tohutohu kia pai rawa atu*...ka "pine" kia rite ki tō hiahia.

Kia tūpato. Kia tae atu koe ki Pinterest, ka pāwhiritia e koe ngā mea katoa. Tērā pea kāore e taea e koe te mutu.

* Waea atu ki tētahi rangatahi mēnā ka raru koe. E mōhio ana rātou ki ngā mea katoa.

I te tahi taime He nui ngā hua o ngā mea iti—koinei tonu te mea e tupu ana i Detroit, Michigan, he tāone kua kitea i roto i te raruraru nui i ngā tau kua pahure ake nei. Ā, ko aua hua? He mea ēnei ka taea e TŌ KARAPU PUKAPUKA te āwhina ki te whakaputa.

Anei te kōreroI tīmata ki te kotahi Little Free Library i whakatūria e Kim Kozlowski ki tōna kāinga o mua. He tangata whenua kua hoki mai, i mātakitaki a Kim i te whare pukapuka iti hei wāhi huihuinga mō ōna hoa noho o Detroit i a rātou e tū ana ki te kōrero i a rātou e tango pukapuka ana, e whakahoki ana rānei i tētahi. Ko tana Whare Pukapuka Iti kei te whakakotahi i te takiwa. He huarahi pea, i whakaaro ia ki te kawe i ngā Whare Pukapuka Iti Koreutu puta noa i te tāone?

Nā reira i hanga ai e Kim he waea atu ki a Cindy Dyson, he hoa piripono, he kaihoahoa tukutuku e noho ana i Montana. I whakaaroaro rāua—ā, ka puta he whakaaro mō Crash! Bang! He aha e kore ai e tīmata i tētahi kaupapa ā-iwi hei huri i a Detroit hei "Pūtake Whare Pukapuka Koreutu o te Ao"?

I tīmata te kēmuI whakarewahia e Kim Ngā Whare Pukapuka Iti o Detroit I roto i te kaupapa i te marama o Hepetema, 2014, i hoahoa a Cindy i te paetukutuku, ā, i roto i ngā tau e rua i muri mai ka puta ake ngā whare pukapuka iti puta noa i Detroit. I waenganui o te tau 2016, i whakanuia ia e te rōpū Little Free Libraries ā-motu, i mahi tahi ai a Kim, mā te kī ko Detroit te TĀONE WHARE PUKAPUKA ITI KOREUTU E TINO TUPUTUPU ANA I TE MOTU. (Waihoki, i tutuki i a Kim ēnei mea katoa i a ia e mahi ana hei kairīpoata wā-katoa mō te Detroit News.)

Kātahi ka kino haere ngā meaKāore i taea e Alycia Meriweather, te tumuaki kura whakakapi o Detroit, te ngaro i a ia ngā whare pukapuka iti e puta ake ana i runga i ngā papa tarutaru me ngā ara hikoi puta noa i te tāone. Nā ēnei i hoatu he whakaaro ki a Alycia, nō reira i whakapā atu ia ki a Kim Kozlowski.

Pērā i a Kim, i whakapono a Alycia ko te pānui me te tuhituhi tētahi o ngā kaupapa matua e hiahiatia ana hei huri i tētahi tāone nui. Heoi, he tino kino te korenga o ngā pukapuka i roto i te pūnaha kura o Detroit. Ko te whakaaro: he kaupapa hei whakatū i tētahi Whare Pukapuka Iti i roto i ia o ngā KURA 97 o DETROIT—i roto i ngā RĀ 97!

Kei te pēhea rātou? Āe, kua tīmatahia te kaupapa, ā, kua whiwhi kē tautoko nui a te hapori, me te kore e kōrero mō te aro o ngā pāpāho, ā-rohe, ā-motu hoki.

Koinei te wāhi e KOE tomo mai. He whai wāhitanga tino pai te kaupapa a Detroit mō ngā karapu pukapuka katoa e rapu ana i tētahi huarahi KI TE HOATU. He kaupapa tino pai mō te hunga katoa e whakapono ana ki te te mana o te pānui ki te huri i nga oranga.

Cindy Dyson, te kaihoahoa tukutuku, i whakapā mai ki a mātou i LitLovers ki te kōrero mai i te pūrākau, me te kī mai kua tautoko tana karapu pukapuka—tae noa ki MONTANA—i tētahi Whare Pukapuka Iti o Detroit. Tae atu ki te karapu pukapuka a tōna whaea i ALASKA kua uru atu...ā, i haria e tētahi manuhiri i te karapu a tōna whaea i taua rā—nō NEVADA—te ariā ki tana karapu pukapuka ki te kāinga.

Pāwhiritia te 97 Ngā Rā / 97 Ngā Kura whakaahua (i runga i te maui)...ā, akohia me pēhea te āwhina a TŌ KARAPU PUKAPUKA. Ka taea e koe te tuku koha ngāwari, ka taea rānei e koe te hoko i tētahi tauira whare pukapuka kua oti te hanga hei tāuta me te whakakī ki ngā pukapuka māu. Mā tētahi mahi iti NA TŌ WĀHI ka taea te hanga rerekētanga nui—i roto i tētahi tāone e kaha ana ki te hanga rerekētanga.

He blog whakamere te pou nā Joshua Henkin, te kaituhi o Matrimony, e whakaara ake ana i ētahi take whakamere mō ngā karapu pukapuka. He wāhanga poto noa iho tēnei e whakamahia ana e au i konei, engari he nui atu ngā kōrero o tana tuhinga, ā, ka kōrerohia e au i ngā pou e whai ake nei.

E kōrero ana a Henkin me ngā karapu pukapuka huri noa i te motu, ā, koinei tāna e kōrero ana mō ngā karapu maha kua kōrero ia ki a rātou:

Mai i te takutai ki te takutai, ā, i waenganui hoki, kua kitea e au he tini o ngā kaipānui ātaahua... kua kite i ngā mea mō taku pukapuka kāore au i kite, kua pātai mai i ngā pātai hei wero i ahau, ā, kua āwhina i ahau ki te whakaaro mō taku pukapuka (me te pukapuka e whai ake nei e mahi ana ahau) i roto i ngā huarahi tino āwhina. He nui ake aku akoranga mai i ngā rōpū pukapuka i ngā kairīti, ehara i te mea he mātau ake ngā mema o te rōpū pukapuka i ngā kairīti (ahakoa he maha ngā wā!), engari nā te mea... ka kawea mai e rātou he nui te ngākau nui ki te umanga.—Ngā Pukapuka mō te Roro, 28 Paenga-whāwhā, 2008.

Kia marino tōku ngākau! E whakahē ana te wheako o Henkin i tētahi kōrero whakapōuri i roto i te blog i kitea e au i mua tata nei. I whakaiti te kaituhi blog me tana manuhiri i a Oprah me āna pukapuka i whiriwhiria, tae atu ki te kaupapa karapu pukapuka katoa—nā te mea kāore i tutuki i a rātou ētahi paerewa o te matatau ki te tuhituhi (te āhua nei, ko ā rātou paerewa). Āue.

Āe, e aroha ana ahau Ngā kōrero a Josh Henkin—kua whakakorea rawatia taua kōrero kino. Āe, e Josh!!

Tirohia aku pou i muri mai mō te tuhinga a Joshua Henkin mō te karapu pukapuka:

1. Nā ... kei hea ngā tāne?
2. I kata ahau! I tangi ahau! — me pēhea tā tātou kōrero mō ngā pukapuka?
3. Echo Chambers—he rite tonu ngā pukapuka e pānuihia ana e tātou katoa?

He iti rawa te mahi He arotake pukapuka hou taku. He uaua rawa te whakaoti i taku ake puranga pukapuka mō te paetukutuku, ā, kāore rawa e taea te tango i ngā pukapuka hou. Nō reira, he maha ngā wā ka whakakahoretia e au ngā tono arotake. 

Engari ko tēnei pukapuka i rerekē.  He Haerenga i roto i te Ao Tuhituhi o Amerika He tino whakamīharo te āhua…Kāore i taea e au te ātete i te tuku. Ā, he whakatau mohio rawa atu! Koinei tētahi o ngā pukapuka tino ataahua kua whānau mai.  

Journey he pukapuka nui e rite ana ki te tēpu kawhe te rahi, kī tonu i ngā whakaahua ātaahua—ngā kāinga o ngā kaituhi tino arohaina o Amerika me ngā wāhi i puta ai ā rātou kōrero.  

Me te mea whakamiharo he tuhinga roa anō hoki—ko ngā kōrero mō ngā kōrero o roto me ngā mahi whaiaro e hanga ana i te oranga o ngā kaituhi, tae atu ki te hītori me te hihiri i muri i ā rātou mahi. 

He mea tino ataahua tēnei pukapuka—te koha tino pai mō tō hunga e aroha ana ki ngā pukapuka. Ko koe tēnā, koia rā!

Kua tae ki te waa kia tangohia atu ngā TOA PUKAPUKA me ngā WHARE PUKAPUKA i te rārangi o ngā momo kararehe e tata ana ki te ngaro!

I mua atu I roto i ngā tau maha, i te whakarite te hunga hokohoko pukapuka tā i a rātou anō mō ​​te ngaronga. I te pikinga ake o ngā hoko pukapuka matihiko, te āhua nei kua tata te mutunga o te ao. Engari kua rerekē pea tēnā.

E ai ki te Association for American Publishers (AAP), kua heke ngā hoko pukapuka matihiko matihiko—mā te 10%. Āe, ehara i te mea nui tēnā, engari he nui hei hoatu i ētahi wāhi nekeneke ki ngā pukapuka kei runga i ngā whata pukapuka...me ētahi tumanako ki ngā kaihoko pukapuka. *

Te tāpiri atu ki ngā rongo pai, e ai ki te American Booksellers Association (ABA) kua piki ake te maha o ngā toa pukapuka mema i roto i ngā tau e rima kua pahure ake nei—mai i te 1,400 ki te 1,700.

Ano, e whakaatu ana ētahi rangahau he pai tonu ki ngā kaipānui rangatahi, arā, ko te hunga e aroha ana ki ngā taputapu matihiko, te pānui i runga i te pepa.

Ehara i te mea ko tātou ngā kaipānui kei te whakarērea ā tātou taputapu matihiko: he rite tonu ki te huri hei "kaipānui ranu", te huri mai i ngā kape tā ki ngā pukapuka matihiko. He pukapuka ranu ahau—he pai ki ahau taku Kindle engari he pai hoki ki ahau te ahua o te pukapuka tā. Ka taea e koe te pānui atu i roto i te New York Times.

Na me pehea koe? He kaipānui ranu koe, he kaipānui pukapuka anake, he kaipānui pepa anake rānei?

* Kei roto noa iho tēnei i . . . Publishers Weekly i pūrongohia i te Paenga-whāwhā 2016, kua piki ake ngā hoko pukapuka mā te 8.8% i te marama o Poutū-te-rangi—ko te tikanga kua piki ake ngā hoko o ngā toa pukapuka i ia marama i tēnei tau ki te whakataurite ki te tau 2015. He mea whakamiharo ake, kua nui ake te tipu o ngā hoko o ngā toa pukapuka i te wāhanga hokohoko katoa mō ngā marama tuatahi e rima o te tau 2016..

Pānui Panui. Kua tae pea te wā mō tēnei pou. Pērā i a koe, ki taku whakaaro, kua pouri ahau — kāo, kua mataku — i te wehewehe me te kino e horapa ana i roto i ā tātou kōrero tūmatanui.

Kua tahuri mātou tetahi ki tetahi: te hunga rīperare me te hunga pūmau, te hunga ao whānui me te hunga rongonui, te hunga mangu me te hunga mā, te hunga tāne me te hunga wāhine, te hunga whakapono me te hunga kore whakapono, ngā rangatira me … āe, tata ki te katoa.

Engari anei te rongo paiHe PUKAPUKA tā tātou. Ko ngā pukapuka pakiwaitara, inā koa, he puna piringa — he mana tōna ki te whakaora, ki te here i ngā patunga me te hunga kua whara.

Mā roto i ngā karapu pukapuka—me ā mātou pukapuka—ka huihui mātou ki te whakapuaki i te aroha ki te pūrākau. Ka toro atu mātou ki ngā ahurea rerekē, ā, ka tūtaki mātou ki ngā whakaaro rerekē. Ka tipu ake tō tātou ngākau aroha. Mō tētahi wā, kei roto tātou i tētahi ao whānui. E mārama ana tātou — nā te mea he nui ā tātou pānui — kāore e taea te karo i te huringa. Engari e mārama ana hoki tātou kei reira ngā ngā uara pumau me tiaki tonu, i ngā wā katoa.

Aua "uara pumau," ahakoa, ka taea e tātou te whakararuraru i a tātou; he rerekē te āhua o tā tātou whakamārama i a rātou, ā, he māmā noa iho te whakatōrangapū i a rātou. Tērā pea ko te whakaaro o ngā uara te mea e wehewehe ana i a tātou.

Engari kei reira ngā uara pumau, ngā uara e whakaaetia ana e tātou katoa. Ko te mea tuatahi ko te NGĀKAU, ā, ka kitea i roto i ngā tuhinga. He maha ā tātou pukapuka tino pai ko ērā e kitea ana te ngākau atawhai i ngā wāhi ohorere, e kaha ake ai te wairua tuwhera, atawhai i te nanakia me te hiahia whaiaro, te riri me te wehi.

He tuarua ko te whakapono ki te WHAKAMANA o ia tangata. He mea uaua tēnā. He māmā ake te tākaro i te kāri iti rawa i roto i te papa kāri, ka huri ki te karanga ingoa kino — e mōhio ana ahau, kua oti i ahau. Ae, he whakama, kua uru ahau ki te mahi whakarihariha.

Heoi anō, ngā tuhinga e kī ana i te whakaae ki te mana tangata — ahakoa te whakarihariha, te whakaiti rānei i a rātou, kei a rātou tonu te ngākau nui o te mana tangata.

Ngā akoranga mō tēnei pou rangitaki: Meinga te ao hei wāhi pai ake—PĀNUITIA HE PUKAPUKA. Te mutunga o te kauwhau.

Pāwhiritia ngā whakaahua uhi takitahi.

He kōrero tawhito tēnei ki te kī he mea whakarerekē te pānui. Nō reira, ka kī tonu ahau—ka taea e NGĀ PUKAPUKA te ngaro i a tātou anō i roto i te wā me te wāhi. I te tihi o ō rātou mana, ka whakakorea e rātou te rohe o te tangata.

Ko ēnei pukapuka e ono, he mea hou katoa, engari he mea anō tā rātou e tuku ana: ka taea e rātou te mea i a koe kia kata: he kata nui… tae noa ki te kata nui.

He katakata rātou, he mea pai tēnei i tēnei wā, i a tātou e "piripiri ana i ō tātou wāhi".

Nā Kristi Spuhler mō LitLovers
Anei tētahi whakaaro pai inaianei: he ratonga ohaurunga e tautuhi ana i ngā pukapuka motuhake māu anake—ā, ka tukuna tika atu ki tō tatau!

Te paetukutuku, Ko te Pukapuka Tika Tonu, whiriwhiri taitara—i runga i ō hiahia pānui whaiaro—ā, ka tukuna atu ki a koe kotahi i te marama. Ngā pukapuka tūturu...e mōhio ana koe, ko ngā mea he whārangi? Ko ngā mea e pai tonu ana tātou ki te pupuri i roto i ō tātou ringaringa?

Koinei te mahi: upoko ki te pae ā, whakatakotoria tō ota mō te momo ohaurunga e hiahia ana koe. I a koe e whakatere ana i te tukanga utu, ka akiakihia koe ki te whakakī i tētahi pātai mō ō momo pukapuka tino pai, taitara, me ngā kaituhi. Kia whiwhi rātou i tō kōtaha pānui, ka tīmata rātou ki te tuku atu i ngā pukapuka whaiaro ki a koe i ia marama (i ia rua marama, i ia toru marama rānei—kei a koe te tikanga).

Mo tetahi mea he maia ake... kei reira Riot Pukapuka, tētahi atu ratonga ohaurunga. Me whai kaipānui tuwhera ake tēnei—kāore i te whakawhaiarohia ki ō hiahia engari i runga i ngā kōwhiringa ā-marama a ngā ētita. Ko te tikanga ka whiwhi koe i tētahi ohorere i ia marama!—he kete kei roto ko te pukapuka (he pakiwaitara te nuinga), he whakaahuatanga o te kaupapa o taua marama, ngā uiuinga kaituhi, me ētahi atu tuhinga e pā ana.

Na mena kei te ahua koe He tangata hihiko, whakamātauria tētahi (e rua rānei!) o ēnei ratonga. Ki tō whakaaro ka taea e tētahi atu te whiriwhiri i tāu pukapuka e whai ake nei? Ā, ki te pai koe ki tēnei, he koha pai te ohaurunga, inā koa tētahi mai i Just The Right Book, kei reira ngā kāwai mō ngā pakeke, ngā taiohi, ngā tamariki rānei.

Ko etahi pukapuka ka meinga koe kia whakaaro he aha te kaituhi i whakararuraru ai... kātahi ka meinga koe kia whakaaro he aha KOE e whakararuraru ana. Ka haere tonu koe me tētahi pukapuka whakarihariha... ka waiho rānei?

Kua oti i ahau i ēnei mea e rua i ēnei rā tata nei. I tikina e au a Jaimy Gordon's Ariki o Misrule i runga i ngā arotake pakari. Engari i tino pēhia, i tino mahihia hoki te tuhinga a Gordon, ā, he mea whakarihariha. He ahorangi tuhituhi a Gordon, koia pea te take e ahua rite ana te pukapuka ki tētahi mahi akomanga tuhituhi. He pai ki ahau ngā tuhinga matotoru, whai kiko, engari kāore.... Āe, ahakoa pēhea, i waiho e au te pukapuka ki tahaki.

Kātahi ka whiriwhiria e au te mea hou a Sara Gruen, Whare Ape, e kōrero ana tētahi whānau makimaki mā te whakamahi i te Reo Tohu o Amerika—ka noho hei whetu i roto i tā rātou ake whakaaturanga pouaka whakaata mooni. Whakaarohia ngā mea ka taea! Engari he angiangi ngā tuhinga a Gruen, ā, he rite ki te kaituhi mata. Ā, he nui ake te whakamere o āna makimaki i ana āhua tangata.

I oti i ahau te pukapuka a Gruen—i te whakaaro he hua pea kei reira. Haunga, kāore i te mamae te pānui. Ā, he momo hua kei te mutunga, he mea e taea te matapae engari he reka.

*Kua tāpirihia ā muri ake nei...Mō tētahi pānui tino pai mō ngā makimaki me ngā tāngata, ngana Te Whanaketanga o Bruno Littlemore (aroha mai, kāore he aratohu pānui)...he mea whakamiharo, he katakata, ā, he mea whakararuraru.

Ngā Pātai mō ngā Karapu Pukapuka
He aha tāu e mahi ai ki ngā pukapuka whakapōrearea... ina koa mēnā ko tētahi o ngā pukapuka i whiriwhiria e koe i roto i tāu karapu pukapuka? Ko ēhea ngā mea kua whakapōrearea... ā, he aha ai?

He ngawari (ki ahau nei, i te iti rawa) ki te kōrero mō ngā pukapuka me ngā kaituhi e whakapōrearea ana, nō reira kua tae pea te wā ki te kōrero mō te hunga e tino miharo ana koe, ngā kaituhi e miharo ana koe ki ā rātou tuhinga. Ehara i te mea ko te tuhituhi pai anake, engari ko te tino he tuhituhi pai, engari he tuhituhi tino pai.

Nga pukapuka Ehara i te mea ko aku tino pai ēnei kua whakarārangihia e au i raro nei, ahakoa ko ētahi he tino pai; kāore i te nui te kōrero i ngā wā katoa, ā, ko ētahi he pūrākau poto e hono tahi ana—ehara i te hanganga motuhake nāku i whiriwhiri.

Ko te nuinga, ko rātou he mea whakamiharo mō te ataahua o ā rātou tuhinga me ā rātou tirohanga—te momo tuhituhi e whakaoho ana i te wiri me te whakaaro..."nā te aha rātou i mahi ai i tēnā?" Ko ētahi he mea hou rawa atu, ko ētahi kua rua tau te roa. Anei taku rārangi...tae noa mai ki tēnei wā.

Mēnā he mea tino pai āu...he mea tino pai rānei, tena koa whakamōhio mai.

Nā Kristi Spuhler mō LitLovers
Mō te nuinga o tātou He mea noa te whai pukapuka hei pānui; he mea e whakaarohia ana e tātou he mea noa iho.

Engari mo etahi He mea utu nui te pukapuka—ina koa mō ngā tamariki rawakore, ā, he uaua ki a rātou te utu mō aua pukapuka. Ko te mea kino rawa atu: he maha ngā whare pukapuka kāore e taea te tohatoha kāri whare pukapuka me te kore he wāhitau whakahoki.

Me te kore o te āheinga Hei whakaharatau i te pānui, he tokomaha ngā tamariki e hinga ana ki muri i ō rātou hoa. Anei ngā tatauranga kino:

He rangahau na Te Rōpū Rangahau Mātauranga o Amerika kitea e 88 orau Ko te ōrau o ngā tamariki kāore e pānui ana i te taumata tuatoru, kāore pea e puta i te kura tuarua—he tino taumaha ngā pānga o te kore e taea te pānui pukapuka i ētahi wā!

I hiahiatia a Sue Henry ki te mahi i tētahi mea i tōna kāinga tupu o Nashua, New Hampshire. Nō reira i hangaia e ia tētahi kaupapa kotahi te wā, ko BOOKS TO KEEP te ingoa, hei kawe pukapuka ki ngā tamariki i roto i tētahi kaupapa ako kōhungahunga ā-rohe. Tata ki te 20 tau ki muri tēnā. I tēnei rā kua tāruatia e ia me tana BOOK CLUB te kaupapa kotahi i roto i Ngā Kāinga o waenganui o Florida.

Neke atu i te whakamutunga I roto i ētahi marama torutoru, kua tukuna e Henry me tana karapu pukapuka e 5,000 ngā pukapuka mā roto i ngā whare tiaki pukapuka e 5—ā, kei te tono atu rātou ināianei ki ētahi atu karapu pukapuka kia tīmata i ā rātou ake putanga o te kaupapa Books To Keep.

Tīmata he māmā noa iho, ā, He whakaaro tā Sue kua tukuna ki tana paetukutuku hei āwhina i a koe ki te tīmata i tō kaupapa. Hei tīmata i tāu ake whakahaere koha, ko tāu noa he kohikohi pukapuka, tāpirihia he tapanga ki aua pukapuka, kātahi ka tohatoha.

Ngā pukapuka i kohaina Kāore e hiahiatia kia hou tonu—ka miharo koe ki ngā mea ka kitea e koe i ngā hoko karāti, ngā hoko pukapuka, ngā whare pukapuka me ngā toa hoko taonga. Kia tīmata koe ki te rapu pukapuka me te whakamārama i te kaupapa, tera pea ka miharo koe ki te harikoa o ētahi atu ki te whai wāhi mai ki āu mahi!

Ka manaaki te kaupapa i ngā ki ngā wāhanga matua e whā: ngā pukapuka papa pēpi, ngā pukapuka pānui-ā-waha, ngā pukapuka upoko me ngā pakiwaitara YA/taiohi. Ina tukuna ngā pukapuka ki ngā teihana kohi kua tohua, wehea noa kia whā ngā wāhanga, ka tatari kia kite i te maha o āu pukapuka kua "whāngaihia" e ngā tamariki o te rohe e hiahia ana.

Tuhinga ka whai mai Te Rā o te Kāinga he mahi whakamiharo tāna ki te whakamārama i te kaupapa me te whakaatu i te pānga o Sue i roto i ētahi marama torutoru noa iho.

MŌ NGĀ KARAPŪ PUKAPUKA
Mena kei te rapu koe i tētahi kaupapa hapori—he huarahi hei hanga i tētahi rerekētanga—he aha e kore ai e whakaaro ki te tīmata i tāu ake kaupapa PUKAPUKA TO PUPURI? Mena kei te hiahia koe, whakapā atu ki a Sue Henry mā tana paetukutuku.

He toa pukapuka ā-rohe ngā tainasoa tuhituhi o ēnei rā? He tokomaha te hunga e whakaaro ana pērā... ā, e whakaaro ana kua tata te ngaro o ngā kararehe o Amazon

Engari tenei te pātai: ki te whai ngā toa pukapuka motuhake i te ara o ngā tainasoa, he aha – mēnā he mea – ka ngaro i a tātou? Koinei te pātai kua ara ake i ētahi whakahē i roto i ngā pāpāho me te ao rangitaki.

Kaituhi Richard Russo i tīmata i tētahi kerfluffle mā te tuhi i tētahi He tuhinga whakaputa kōrero nā te NY TimesI tangi ia, me ētahi kaituhi rongonui (a Stephen King, a Ann Patchett, me Anita Shreve me ētahi atu), mō te mutunga o ngā toa pukapuka tūturu. Nā te mea ko ngā toa pukapuka o Patchett he "wāhanga nui o tō tātou ahurea." Pērā anō hoki i a Tom Perrotta, i kī ia he wāhanga rātou o tētahi "ahurea tuhituhi ora tūturu." He aha te mea e tautohetia ana mō tēnā?

Āe, tatari: i muri i ētahi rā, te kaituhi ipurangi o te maheni Slate, a Farhad Manjoo i whai wāhi atu, me te kī he "rūpahu" te tautohe a Russo & company. Me te kore e whakahē, koinei tana i kī ai:

Russo e whakaū ana i tana riri ki ētahi o ngā whare iti rawa te whai hua, te ngāwari ki te whakamahi, me te tino hē o te pakiwaitara ka kitea e koe: ngā toa pukapuka motuhake. E whakaaro ana a Russo me ana hoa kaituhi pukapuka ko te pupuri i ēnei whare karakia, pirau te huarahi anake ki te whakatipu i tētahi "ahurea tuhituhi tūturu," e ai ki te kaituhi a Tom Perrotta..

Aue! He mamae tēnā. Kia mau ki ngā kupu "kāore i te tino ngāwari ki te whakamahi" me "ngā whare karakia, whakapōrearea"—ngā toa pukapuka, aue! Engari he take whakamere tā Manjoo: nā te iti o ngā utu ipurangi, te ngāwari o te tono, me te urunga tere mā roto i ngā kaipānui matihiko, kei te nui haere te pānui a te tangata. Koinei te ahurea tuhituhi tūturu, e ai ki a ia.

Mō te tiaki te ahurea o te hapori, anei ngā kōrero a Manjoo mō tēnā:

Mena kei a koe Mā te whakapau moni tāpiri ki ngā pukapuka i tō rohe motuhake, ka iti ake te moni hei whakapau ki ngā mea katoa—tae atu ki ngā wheako ahurea ā-rohe tūturu...[tō] kamupene whare tapere ā-rohe...whare taonga o te tāone...taonga hanga ā-rohe.... He wheako ahurea ia o ēnei kua hangaia i roto i tō hapori. Te hoko Steve Jobs i tētahi toa i raro i te tiriti kāore.

Taku tāne atamai E ai ki a Pete he rūpahu te tautohe a Manjoo. Ehara i te hoko pukapuka te mea e whakarato ana i tētahi wheako ahurea. Ko te toa tonu tā Russo mā e kōrero ana—he wāhi huihuinga, he tāngata tūturu hei kōrero ki a rātou, he pukapuka hei pā atu, he tūru hei nohoanga, he toa hokohoko hoa e whakapaipai ana i tētahi tiriti o te rohe.

Kāore te take e haere atu; i puta anō i tētahi atu rā i runga i te NPR (6 marama i muri i a Russo NY Times (wāhanga). I uiuitia a Manjoo e te kaikōrero me te rangatira toa pukapuka o te rohe, engari kāore i taea e rāua te aro atu ki ngā kōrero a Manjoo. Nā ēnei katoa ka taea e AU te whakapuaki i ōku whakaaro...

Ko wai te tika, ko wai te hē? Kāore he aha. Ko te mea pono, kua tata ngaro ngā toa pukapuka o te rohe. Ka. Tutuki....i tētahi wā. I aro nui te whakatupuranga rangatahi ki te hangarau-pāpā; kāore rātou e aro nui ki ngā pukapuka pērā i a tātou. Ka whiwhi rātou i ā rātou purongo ipurangi...ka tākaro kēmu ipurangi...ka hono atu ki ngā hoa ipurangi...ka rapu kupu ipurangi.... Ka noho ora ipurangi rātou. Koinei te mea i tipu ake ai rātou.

Haere rā e ngā toa pukapuka. Ka ngaro rātou i a tātou? Ae rā—he mea nui! Ka rerekē rānei ā tātou tikanga pānui, ā tātou wheako tuhituhi rānei? Kāore pea. Heoi anō, he ao rerekē tēnei, ā, me whakarerekē tātou katoa—kāore au i te whakaaro he kōwhiringa tā tātou. Āue....

I hoki anō ahau Brideshead i tērā wiki anō—te pānui anō i te pukapuka i muri i te 25 tau—nā te mea kāore i te tika te noho o te kiriata hou. 

Kei reira hoki te putanga o te tau 1981 me Jeremy Irons, te raupapa poto whakahirahira e 11 hāora te roa. He aha i hanga anō ai he wira tino pai? Āe, i muri i taku panuitanga anō i te marathon, ka nui ake taku hiahia ki te mōhio.

He pai ki ahau te putanga hou o te tau 2008, nā ngā mahi whakaari te take matua. He rawe! Engari ko te whakatakotoranga e rua hāora te roa ka whakapohehe i te kaupapa me te tikanga matua o te mahi. 

Ko te raruraru nui rawa atu Ko te wā tēnei o te aroha o Julia rāua ko Charles. I roto i te pukapuka, kāore rāua e aroha tae noa ki te tūtakitanga i runga i te kaipuke—10 tau i muri i tō rāua tūtakitanga tuatahi ki Brideshead. Kei roto i te kiriata hou te aroha i waenganui i a rāua i te tīmatanga—ki Brideshead. He hē nui tēnei nā te mea ka arahi ki te whakaaro ko te aroha kore utu o Sebastian ki a Charles te mea e kukume ana i a ia ki roto i te awhiowhio whakangaro-i-a-ia anō. He tino uaua ake tana hekenga—ā, ka tae ki te ngako o te pukapuka.

Ko te korero te āhua nei, i te tirohanga tuatahi, he whakahē i te whakapono, inā koa ko te Katorika. Engari ko ngā taitara o te upoko o te pukapuka he tohu tino pai: "Et In Arcadia Ego" me "The Twitch Upon the Thread." E pā ana te pukapuka ki te mahi a te aroha noa o te Atua i te ao: 

he aho e kore e kitea, he roa rawa hei tuku i te tangata kāore i ripeneta kia kopikopiko ki ngā pito o te ao, kia whakahokia mai ai ia me te miro pakupaku noa iho..  

Te tutu ā-whakaaro ka peia a Charles rāua ko Sebastian i Arcadia—te pararaiha / Ētene i mua ko Brideshead i te raumati o te tau 1923. I muri i te mamae me te pouri ka rongo rāua i te "mimiti i runga i te miro"—tae atu ki a Charles i te mutunga o te pukapuka, ahakoa kāore i te mārama mēnā kua mau ia. 

Mō ngā Karapu Pukapuka
He aha e kore ai e hoki anō Brideshead mā te pānui i a Waugh...kātahi ka mātakitaki i te putanga kiriata o te tau 2008? Mēnā rānei, mātakitakihia te putanga 1981 mō te hunga tino pukumahi, 11 hāora te roa! Kōwhiria he wā mutunga wiki—ā, tākaihia he pēke moe me te urunga! Karangahia mai hoki ahau.

Nā Kristi Spuhler mō LitLovers
Mehemea ko Ihimaera  He waea pūkoro tāna, he waea rānei? He aha ngā momo karere ka riro i a ia?

Koinā te kaupapa matua te kaupapa matua o callmeishmael.com—he pae tukutuku e waea mai ai ngā kaipānui ki te whakapuaki i ngā wā whakahirahira i pā ki a rātou i roto i tētahi pukapuka tino pai. Tērā pea i whakaaweawe te pukapuka i tētahi huarahi whakaaro hou, i whakarato rānei i tētahi whakamarie i te wā uaua.

Karangatia ahau ko Ihimaera e wātea ana ki te katoa, ki hea noa atu i te US. He māmā noa iho, pērā i te waiho karere reo: waea atu ki 774.325.0503, kātahi ka haere ki te karere reo. Whai muri i te whakarongo ki tētahi karere poto, tuhia, ka whakapuaki i tō kōrero mō ngā mea i motuhake ai tō pukapuka tino pai ki a koe. I ia rā wiki, ka whiriwhiria e "Ishmael" tētahi kōrero hei tuhi, hei hopu, hei tukuake ki te pae.

Te whakarongo ki ngā kaipānui Mā te whakapuaki kōrero ka hōhonu ake te maioha ki te mana o ngā pukapuka. He huarahi pai tēnei hei whakanui i te kaha ahurei o te tuhituhi ki te hanga i ō tātou oranga.

Engari kaua e tango noa ko tā mātou kupu tēnei—whakamātauria e koe. Tirohia ētahi o ngā tuhinga mō Ishmael. Ā, waiho mai he kōrero nāu ake.

Nā...he aha te kōrero? ka pera ranei?

*Whakaahua nā te manaakitanga a Billy Brown.

Ko au anake rānei te tangata i te US kāore anō kia kite Mama mia? Tērā pea. Kua roa rawa ahau e whakamahi ana. Ko te mea kino rawa atu, inanahi ka kite ahau i te mutunga Te Ingoa, i ahu mai i te pukapuka nā Jhumpa Lahiri. He pai ake te tōmuri i te kore rawa.

I ētahi wā he kiriata he pai ake i tana pukapuka. I pai ahau ki te pukapuka a Lahairi. Engari ki taku whakaaro (i tēnei wā tonu) he pai ake ia ki te tuhituhi pakiwaitara poto, he mahi uaua ake tēnei. (I kī a Faulkner he uaua ake ngā pakiwaitara poto i te rotarota.) 

Ingoa, Te Kiriata He rawe. Nā te āhua, kāore i roto i te pukapuka te āhua o roto (nō reira, ko ētahi o ōna hōhonutanga me ōna māramatanga), engari koinei pea te take i pai ake ai ahau ki ngā kiripuaki o te kiriata, inā koa ko Gogol, kāore i te tino wehea, i te tino aro nui rānei ki a ia anō pērā i roto i te pukapuka. Ae, kāore te kiriata e hopu i te wehenga o Ashima Ganguli mai i te ahurea o Amerika me te pukapuka anō hoki, me tōna pouri hoki mō te ngaronga o āna tamariki ki tōna awe. Engari ki taku whakaaro he pai ake te mau o te kiriata. (Tirohia tā mātou He Aratohu Pānui mō Te Ingoa.)

I runga i te Te Kite WhakawhitiAhakoa te aroha o te pukapuka, he raruraru hanganga kei roto, inā koa i te mutunga o te wā i tūtaki ai a Ahmed ki tōna hoariri i muri i ngā tau 15 i Afghanistan. I rite te wāhanga katoa ki te tāpiripiri, ki te tinihanga, ki te rahi rawa. Anō, he pai ake te putanga kiriata, i te āhua nei i taea ai te whakahaere i te wāhanga whakaora me te huatau me te kaha ake. Pērā anō me te whakaaturanga whakamutunga o te rere manu tukutuku i te takutai moana o California. (Tirohia tā mātou He Aratohu Pānui mō te Kaitākaro Kite.)

Na te mutunga Te Taraehara. He mīharo ki te pukapuka me te kiriata. Engari he pai ake ki ahau te mutunga o te kiriata i te mutunga o te pukapuka. Ko te whakaaturanga katoa o te rā whānau (me te huna a Briony mō tana pukapuka ka whakaputaina me ngā hoko kino e noho ana i reira) he ahua hangai. Engari ko te kōrero a Vanessa Redgrave i āta whakarerekētia i tetahi ara i nui ake ai te mana me te mana o te kiriata, me te kore e kōrero mō te rongonui. I tino miharo ahau. (Tirohia tā mātou He Aratohu Pānui mō te Whakamarie.)

Ngā Pātai mō te Karapu Pukapuka

1. He aha ngā pukapuka kua pānuihia e koe, ā, he putanga kiriata anō hoki kei roto? Ko tēhea te mea i pai ake ki a koe?
2. E whakaatu ana tō karapu i ngā kiriata poto i roto i ngā kōrerorero? E kōrero ana koe mō te putanga pukapuka, kaua mō te putanga kiriata?

Whakaarohia te āhua o taua āhua I te ata pōuriuri, i whakatuwheratia tēnei reta mai i tawhiti o Estonia, te whenua ataahua e tū tata ana ki te Moana Baltic.

#1
Kia ora...He kaiako reo Pākehā ahau nō Minnesota, e noho ana, e whakaako ana hoki i Estonia, i Ūropi. Kei te whakamahi ahau i ō pātai karapu pukapuka hei āwhina i aku ākonga ki te matapaki i tā rātou e pānui ana mō aku mahi "pānui kāinga". Ngā mihi nui ki a koe—kua tino āwhina i aku ākonga ki te whai hua nui atu i tā rātou pānui.

"Nā, he aha āu "Kei te pānui ngā ākonga?" Ka whakahoki atu ahau. Ā, i te ata i muri mai...ka tae mai tētahi atu īmēra.

#2
Kua pānuihia e aku tamariki o te tau ono ētahi kaipānui kua mākahia, Huri noa i te Ao i roto i ngā Rā 80, Ko te whakamutunga o ngā Mohicans, ētahi pukapuka hākinakina mō ngā kaitākaro whutupaoro, me ētahi atu.

He hiahia nui tō ngā tamariki pakeke ki ngā tuhinga rongonui o te wā—te Divergent Raupapa, Te Ariki o ngā Mowhiti, Ngā Kēmu Hiakai, Te Hapa o ō Tātou WhetuKa pānui ētahi tamariki i ngā kōrero mō ngā kōrero ora, ngā kōrero pono rānei. He pai te nuinga o tā rātou whakarāpopototanga i ngā mea kua pānuihia e rātou, engari he uaua ki te matapaki i tētahi atu mea—koinei te wāhi i tino āwhina mai ai ā koutou pātai i a mātou.

Ko wai ra tenei? E whakaaro ana ahau. "Ko wai koe," ka tuhituhi ahau "... ā, he aha tāu mahi i Estonia?" Ko Parry tōna ingoa... ā, i te ata i muri mai, ka rongo ahau i te nota tuatoru!

#3
He kaiako ahau i tētahi kura tūmataiti i Tallinn, te tāone matua o Estonia. Ko te ingoa o te kura, ko te kool rānei, ko Rocca al Mare ("te toka i te taha o te moana") ā, kei te taha tonu o te Moana Baltic i roto i te ngahere ataahua. Nō Minnesota ahau engari kua tata ki te iwa tau ahau e noho ana ki Estonia. He whānau tōku i konei inaianei, ā, kāore he mahere mō te hoki ki te US i roto i ngā wā tata nei.

Ko te nuinga o āna tamariki, He tino matatau a Parry ki te reo Pākehā—he ngāwari noa iho te kōrero me te tuhituhi. He "reo A" tēnei, arā, ka tīmata rātou ki te ako i te reo Pākehā i te tau tuatahi. Ka awehia hoki rātou e te Ipurangi me te pouaka whakaata—he maha ngā wā ka whakaurua e rātou ngā kupu Pākehā ki roto i ngā rerenga kōrero ina kōrero ana rātou i te reo Ēstonia. Mēnā rānei, ka tangohia e rātou tētahi kupumahi Amerikana ka "whaka-Ēstonia" i taua reo.

He iti rawa a Estonia "He mea tino nui te ako reo," te kī a Parry, ahakoa i roto i te oranga o ia rā. He tokomaha te hunga e taea te kōrero i ngā reo e 3, e 4, tae atu ki te 5, i ētahi wā he matatau. Mai i te tau 3, ka taea hoki e ngā ākonga te whiriwhiri i tētahi "reo B"—Wīwī, Tiamana, Rūhia, Pāniora rānei—ā, i muri mai ka taea te tāpiri i tētahi "reo C," kei roto i taua reo te reo Finnish.

He kiriata tino pai nōku, e kī atu ana ahau ki a ia, ko Ko te Whakahauhau waiata—me pēhea te mana motuhake o Ētonia i te pakanga Sōviete i te tau 1991. I waiatatia e rātou te ara ki te herekore. He kōrero whakahihiri, he kōrero kaha.

E mōhio ana ia ki te kiriata. "He nui te whakahīhī o ngā tāngata o Ēstonia ki te huarahi i toa ai rātou i tō rātou mana motuhake i taua wā. Ko te raumati 2014 te Hakari Waiata Raumati e whai ake nei, e tū ana i ia whā tau; tera pea ka kitea e koe ngā ataata o ngā hakari waiata o mua i raro i te taitara." Laulupidu, ko tōna tikanga he hakari waiata i te reo Estonian."

Na ka mutu ia ki..."Ae, he tino pakarukaru te herekoretanga o Estonia: kāore i roa te wā e herekore ana hei iwi."

Kei a tatou te aroha ki te kiripuaki matua o te pukapuka? He aha te mea ka puta mēnā ka whakahawea tātou ki te toa/wahine toa?

I pānui noa ahau he whakarāpopototanga mō te pukapuka hou a Zoe Heller, Ngā whakapono. He nui te mihi a ngā kairīti ki a ia, ahakoa ki tā ētahi he rerekē ngā kiripuaki ... kāore e taea te hono atu ki a rātou ... he kino rawa atu hoki tā rātou titiro!

Nō reira, hoki ki taku pātai. Ka taea e tātou te pārekareka ki tētahi pukapuka me te kore e pai ki ōna kiripuaki? Arohaina te pukapuka, kinotia ia—pēnei i te Serena, tētahi atu pukapuka hou me te toa wahine kāore e taea e tetahi te tu atu.

Ā, me pēhea?t Emma—Te mahi toi a Jane Austen? Ahakoa a Austen i mōhio ka uaua ki ana kaipānui te pai ki tana wahine toa e haurangi ana ki te whakahaere. Kātahi anō ka puta Lolita, e whakaatu ana i tētahi o ngā toa tino whakarihariha o ngā tuhinga katoa? He tino pumau a Humbert Humbert, ki te kore e aroha—ā, e kiia ana te pukapuka ko tētahi o ngā mahi nui o te rautau 20.

Heoi anō... He uaua ki te pānui pukapuka ina kore e pai ki ngā kiripuaki. Ko au anake? Kāore pea.

Ngā Pātai mō ngā Karapu Pukapuka

1. Ka taea e te tangata kino te whakangaro i tētahi pukapuka pai? 
2. Me pēhea te tīmatanga o te nuinga o ō kōrero pukapuka—mā te kōrero mō ngā kiripuaki? Ā, ki te kore koe e pai ki te kiripuaki matua...kei hea te haere o te kōrero? Ka memeha haere?
3. Mena he āhua kino te āhua o tētahi kiripuaki, he mea āta whakaarohia e te kaituhi? Hei aha te take?

Kei a koe I pānuihia e te karapu pukapuka tētahi mea e pānuihia ana e te hunga whakarongo? Mena koinā, he nui te mīti, te kapia rānei, hei kōrero pai? 

He aha te chick-lit?  Whakaarohia ngā wāhine rangatahi o te tāone e aro nui ana ki ngā tāne, ki te taatai, ki ngā taonga, ki te haereere, me te pāti. Maama i roto i te Taone, Ko nga mea katoa i hiahia matou ko nga mea katoa, ranei Te whai i a Harry Winston. 

Ko te taitara o tētahi mea tata nei New York Times I roto i te tuhinga, "On the Beach, Under a Tiffany Blue Sky," e whakaatu ana i te mea he mea whakamārama te rama o te wahine i waenganui o te tauera takutai—hei pukapuka mō te raumati e mawhiti ana.

He pānui takutai moana, kāore rānei, Ka taea e koe te whakaaro i ngā kaumātua e kukume ana i ngā wāhine i te raro o ō rātou kākahu kaukau me te whakahawea. Koinei te take o te ngangau katoa—kia mutu ai ngā tamāhine hei porangi ki ngā tama, hei hunga whai mana? 

Engari tera pea he mea whakamāori ki te wahine he nui ake te hiranga? He tauhohenga pea tēnei ki te ngākau pono o te whakatupuranga o mua. Anei te kaituhi a Melissa Banks i roto i te Uiuinga whare ataahua o te tau 1999:

I whakatipuria ngā wāhine o tōku whakatupuranga [taiohi] ki te whakaaro ki a rātou anō i runga i ā rātou mahi, kaua ki te whakaaro ki te marena, ki te kore rānei e marena, ā, i tino taumaha rawa atu. I puta ohorere te whakaaro he mea nui ake te mahi i te mahi. Me tuku e koe tō wairua ki a ia—ā, ... kia rite tō whakatapua ki tō mahi ki tētahi atu tangata..

Ngā pātai mā ngā karapu pukapuka:

1. He whakakeke te "chick-lit": "ehara i te whakahāwea wahine a tō whaea"? He tawai rānei nō te whakatupuranga tuarua ki ngā tāne: "Ko ngā mea katoa ka taea e koe te mahi ka taea e au te mahi pai ake"? (Mēnā ka taea e ngā tāne te whakahaere i ō rātou ake moepuku, mahi, moemoeā me ngā hiahia, he aha e kore ai e taea e ngā wāhine?)
2. Me tango te "chick-lit" me te tote (me te onepu rānei)? He tirohanga whakamere rānei ki tētahi wā i muri i te whakahāweatanga o ngā wāhine.

Kia mohio tētahi o ngā kīanga kei te taha mauī?

He uaua ki te koreI tangohia mai i ngā arotake o ngā pukapuka whakahihiri, ā, e whakahuatia ana i roto i ngā panuitanga uhi me ngā pānuitanga (nā te mea, e hia ngā huarahi e taea ai te kī "whakahihiri"?).

Tāpirihia ki tērā…tata ki ngā kiriata whakahihiri katoa e whakanuia ana ko "TE KŌHIRO HOU KUA NGARO, TE KŌHIRO RĀNEI I RUNGA I TE TEREINA!!!!!"

Taku raruraru Kua hoha ahau ki ngā mea whakahihiri (kāore tēnei kupu i te rārangi)—te noho tata ki te mutunga mō ngā whārangi 384—me te pānui i roto i te ARATUKA PANIC.

Nō reira, e te kaipānui, whaki: Ka peke atu ahau ki mua … ki ngā whārangi whakamutunga. Me tirotiro ahau mēnā ka ora tonu aku tino pukapuka kia taea ai e au te noho marino me te pārekareka ki te haerenga. Heoi anō, ehara ianei i te mea koinei te kaupapa o te pānui - kia reka ki ngā kupu, ki ō rātou manawataki me ngā āhuatanga rerekē, kia pai ai te noho ki hea e haria ai tātou e te pūrākau?

whakarongo, He pai ki ahau te pūrākau whakahihiri—i ia wa, i tera wa. Engari, ehara i te mea miharo, mai i te mea Gone Girl, kua waipuketia te mākete e ngā pukapuka whakahihiri. Me te mea nei kua haurangi te umanga whakaputa pukapuka nā te nui haere o ngā tāngata ataahua hinengaro pōrangi.

kino rawa atu, Ahakoa ngā kaituhi "pūrākau pakiwaitara" kei te tāpiri i ngā momo pakiwaitara whakahihiri hei whakarei ake i ā rātou kaupapa, hei whakapiki ake hoki i ā rātou hoko. Āe, pai. 'Ka mea a Nuf.

Tirohia te titiro i ēnei tīhāte tino pai nā Classic Coup, he kaupapa pānui me te tuhituhi i tīmatahia e te kaiako pono me te kaipānui pukapuka, a Cindy McCain i Nashville. Mō ia tīhāte e hokona ana, ka kohaina te moni ki ngā kura me ngā whare pani i Ecuador, te wāhi i whakaako ai a Cindy i te raumati kua taha ake nei (2012).

He maha atu ngā wāhi nō reira ēnei. Nō reira, haere atu ki a ia Blog Huringa Matarohia me tana Toa Coup Matarohia...me te hoko tīhāte mō āu tamariki katoa, mokopuna, irāmutu me ngā iramutu. Whakapaua he wā ki te ako atu mō āna mahi me āna ākonga hei whakapai ake i te ao mō te hunga e tino matea ana.

Nā Molly Lundquist, LitLovers
Kāore au i te mōhio kei hea E noho ana koe, engari ko te wāhi e noho ana ahau kāore mātou i kite i te rā mai i taua wā, āe… mai i te 30 o Oketopa. I tau mai he ārai pouri, matotoru ki runga i a mātou. PŪ—kāore he mahi tuarua.

I ētahi wā, ka whiwhi tātou he tirohanga poto ki tētahi porowhita kanapa (tērā atu mea rānei) engari kāore rawa mō te wā roa, ā, KAUA rawa e rua ngā rā karapīpiti. E whakapae ana ētahi ko te rā pea. engari kāore tetahi i te tino mōhio.

Ki te mea he tangi pōuri rawa, koia tēnā.

Āe, engari he ataahua ngā utu. Ko te rangi makariri, kapua—me te mutunga o te Rā Whakatārewatanga—koinei te take e hiahiatia ana e tātou katoa kia noho puku ai i roto i ō tātou ana hei PĀNUI PAI.

He pakari (he ngākau nui rānei?) Ngā mihi nui ki a STEPHEN KING rāua ko JUMPHA LAHIRI, ka whakawhiwhia rāua ki te Mētara Toi rongonui e te Perehitini Obama. Ka tū te tukunga i tētahi hui whakanui i te Whare White i tēnei rā.

I ngā "hara" e haere ana, Kāore i te tino pērā ngā mea tuhituhi: kāore te tāruarua tuhinga me ngā tuhinga pakiwaitara rūpahu e whara, e whara, e whakamate rānei i tetahi.

Ahakoa, kua whakaatu mai ētahi hara iti i roto i te rūnanga i te hekenga nui o ngā tikanga matatika, o ngā hiahia rānei.

1. Te hopu moni.
Ko te "kitenga" o Haere Whakatūria he Kaitiaki kei te tihi o te rārangi. I kī te rōia a Harper Lee, a Tonya Carter, nāna i kitea te tuhinga taketake o Te Patu i te Manu Whakakatakata i te Hui-tanguru 2015. Engari e tohe ana ētahi i kitea i te tau 2011 e tētahi āpiha nō Southeby's—ā, i reira a Carter i te wā i kitea ai.

I muri i te matenga o Alice Lee, te tuahine o Harper, me te kaitiaki mō te wā roa, ka pānuitia e Carter tana "kitenga" o te pukapuka. Ko te wāhanga katoa e kakara ana i tētahi mahi moni ngāwari, ā, ko te mea kino rawa atu, ko te tinihanga i tētahi wahine 89-tau te pakeke i pāngia e te whiu. E rua ngā tuhinga pai ka kitea e koe i konei: tētahi i roto i te New Republic me tetahi atu i roto i te New York Times.

2. Te pūrākau whakakatakata.
I huraina noa iho nei te ingoa tūturu o Elena Ferrante, he mea ngaro mō ngā rā maha. I roto i te kaupapa o ngā mea, ehara i te mea nui—engari ko te kaituhi pea o Taku hoa rangatira (me ētahi atu wāhanga e rua).

Nā, he aha te kaupapa nui ake i whakapuakina ai e te kairīpoata Itari a Claudio Gatti ngā kōrero katoa? He whakanui noa iho i a ia anō, tērā pea. E ai ki te rangatira o te whare whakaputa pukapuka a Ferrante: Ki te hiahia tetahi kia waiho ko ia anake, waiho ia ia.... He kaituhi ia, ā, kāore ia e whara i tetahi.” Āmene.

3. Te paninga mā.
Ahakoa kāore anō kia oti katoa te pānui (e mōhio ana te Atua kua whakamātau ahau), ko te pukapuka hou a te YA, Taku Wahine Jane, e whakaatu ana i te kore aro ki tētahi o ngā huihuinga whakamataku rawa atu o te hītori—te poutoa o te upoko o Lady Jane Grey, 16 tau te pakeke. Mā te tīmatanga o te pukapuka e kōrero:

I mua noa atu, i reira tētahi kōtiro tekau mā ono tau te pakeke ko Jane Grey tōna ingoa, i akiakihia kia moe i tētahi tangata tauhou (ko Lord Guildford, ko Gilford rānei, ko Gifford rānei), ā, i muri tata mai ka noho ko ia hei rangatira mō tētahi whenua. E iwa ngā rā i noho ai ia hei kuīni. Kātahi ka tino ngaro tōna mahunga.

Āe, he aituā tēnei, ki te whakaarohia e koe te wetewete o te mahunga i te tinana he mea pōuri. (He kaikorero noa iho mātou, ā, e kore mātou e pai ki te whakapae he aha ngā mea e kitea ana e te kaipānui he pōuri.)

Taku Wahine Jane
Ko Cynthia Hand rāua ko Brodie Ashton

He aha te...?!

Pai, Tērā pea he tino tairongo rawa ahau, engari e maumahara ana ahau i pānui ahau i tētahi kōrero mō Lady Jane Gray i roto i tētahi akoranga kura paerua mō te Renaissance o Ingarangi. He tino pouri tōna oranga poto, ā, he nanakia tōna mutunga.

Te paninga huka he mea kotahi, engari kua nui te whakamahi hē, te pānui hē, me te whakamahi hē i te hītori—he aha tātou me "ngahau noa iho" ki tēnei? (Nō tētahi atu kōrero tēnā Rārangi Rārangi arotake, e kī ana hoki "me te harikoa ki te whakakore" i te hītori "kia kore ai e pāngia." Aue.)

He mea nui ake, kua ohorere te ao i ētahi pūrongo mai i te Waenganui Rawhiti—āe, e whakaaro ana mātou he mea pouri aua momo huihuinga.

Tirohia? He tangata tairongo ahau, ā, he pukuriri hoki.

---

He nui te pānga o te poutoa o te upoko o Lady Jane ki ngā kaitoi, ahakoa 300 tau i muri mai. Anei ngā whakaahua e rua: Te Whakamatenga o Lady Jane Gray (1833) nā Paul Delaroche rāua ko Ko Lady Jane Grey e whakarite ana mō te whakamatenga (1835) nā George Whiting Flagg.

Āe! Ā, i whakaaro koe He tino pai ngā kaitiaki pukapuka. Āe, anei tētahi kōrero TŪTURU mō te HARA ka meinga ō waewae kia pīrori.

I korero te AP i mauheretia te whare pukapuka o te rohe i Sorrento, Florida, i roto i tētahi mahi tinihanga tinihanga. I roto i ngā marama e iwa, e 2,000 ngā pukapuka i tirohia e tētahi kaipupuri kāri rūpahu.

Nā, KO TĒNĀ, e te kaipānui, he tinihanga rēhita. Engari kia mārama koe: i whakahokia mai ngā pukapuka i ngā wā katoa. I roto i te haora. Kāore i pakaru.

Te Kaipānui Nui ko Chuck Finley, engari kāore a Chuck Finley i te tīariari (me te kāri Whare Pukapuka o East Lake rānei). E rua ngā kaitiaki pukapuka i huna i tētahi kāri tuakiri, ā, i whakamahia hei tirotiro pukapuka, he maha ngā pukapuka i te wā kotahi—nō John Steinbeck ngā mea katoa Rarangi Cannery Tuhinga o mua He aha i pā ai ōku taringa, he pukapuka tamariki nā Ann Fullick.

Ko te katoa mō tētahi kaupapa pai—hei whakaora i ngā pukapuka mai i te poraka tapatapahi nā te mea ka tangohia atu i te pūnaha ā-rohe ngā pukapuka KĀORE ANŌ I TIROHIA mō tētahi wā. Nō reira, ka tangohia e ngā kaitiaki pukapuka tokorua te kawenga ki te WHAKARAU i te maha o ngā pukapuka e taea ana e rāua.

Kia tae rā anō ki tētahi i whakakino i a rātou. Kātahi te harikoa nui.

Engari ko wai te tangata kino i konei—te tangata tinihanga, te tangata hara rānei? Ahakoa te toto o ō tātou ngākau, he uaua ki te kī. E 300,000 ngā taitara e whakaputaina ana i ia tau e ngā whare pukapuka nui o Amerika (50,000+ mō ngā pakiwaitara anake), he nui te korenga o te wāhi e pāngia ana e ngā whare pukapuka. Ehara i te mea ko ngā tahua anake te mea e pēhia ana… pērā anō hoki ngā pukapuka kei runga i ngā whata.

Heoi anō, me pēhea tātou e kore ai e e pā ana ki ēnei wairua pōuri e rua—e rua rānei kua whakaingoatia—e aroha nui ana ki ngā pukapuka, ā, kāore e taea e rātou te maka atu ki roto i te ipu puehu o te hītori? (Ahakoa rā, kāore au i te mōhio he aha te mea kua pā ki ā tātou kaitiaki pukapuka—me te kore e kōrero mō ngā PUKAPUKA katoa.)

He katakata heoi anō he kōrero pouri.

Te mamae o te papakupu
Nā Kathy Aspeden, Kaituhi*

I etahi tau kua pahure I whai wāhi ahau ki tētahi akomanga tuhituhi auaha mai i a Ahorangi Patricia McGraw. He akoranga e toru ngā whiwhinga i hangaia mō ngā kaituhi matatau.

Ae, I hiahia ahau kia tino whai hua mai i te akomanga.

Engari i hiahia anō ahau ki te whiwhi i te "A" (he tangata e rapu ana i te māka - he āhuatanga kino i mahue mai i te korenga o tetahi mea hākinakina i taku tamarikitanga). Ko te tikanga o tēnā ko te mahi i ngā mahi kāinga katoa, tae atu ki ngā mea i kitea e au he koretake, he mahi auau rānei. Ngā mea katoa.

Ahorangi McGraw He tino kaiwhaiwhai ia i te tuhituhi whakarārangi. I mea ia ka puta te auahatanga ki te whakauru i ō tātou ringa ki tēnei mahi e tere nei te huri hei mahi o ngā rā o mua. E whā ngā whārangi pukatuhi kua tuhia ā-ringatia ki ngā rārangi i te pō. Āe!

He mamae nui mōku. He tino kino, he rakuraku hoki tōku tuhituhi. Kāore ōku ringa e hanga porowhita. Kāore e taea e au te tiki i tetahi mea ki tōku tinana hei hanga porowhita. He takahurihuri ōku pona waewae i te wā yoga, he hurāpu hope, he uaua katoa.

Kāore au i te ataahua, He tangata whai whakaaro ahau. Ka taea e au te tuhi ā-ringa i tētahi matapihi tuwhera, kāore he taumata. Ko au te kotiro e mahi ana i ngā tapahi katoa mō te kaupapa peita whānau.

I kaua e waihanga he porowhita, he pewa ataahua rānei. Kī tonu te tuhinga whakarāpopoto i ngā porowhita porowhita ātaahua!

Ka taea e koe te whakaaro te whiwhi māka noa iho nā te mea he mea ngāwari noa iho pēnei i te tuhituhi ā-ringa? I rite tonu ki te kura tuatahi — tae noa ki te wā i mōhio ai ahau ki te mahi. Ae, pērā i te nuinga o te tangata, he tere ake te mahi a tōku roro i ōku ringaringa. I tika kia whakangāwari i ōku whakaaro, ā, i puta ake he wā nui ake mō ngā whakaaro rerekē, tāpiri atu. Ko wai ka mōhio?

I taku mohiotanga Ahakoa kāore a Ahorangi McGraw i te titiro ki ngā ihirangi, i mau tonu taku whakaaro he kawenga ki te mahi tika i te mahi. I tētahi rā i tuhia e au ētahi whārangi e whā o ngā taitara pukapuka pea, ā, i rere katoa tetahi ki tetahi. "The Life We Made – Making The Pie – A Pie in Your Eye – The Eyes Have It – It Happened in the Park – Park Plaza Promise - Promise You're Not a Psycho – Psycho is Anything For Different – ​​A Different Desire…"

I taku tuhituhinga he rārangi hoko kai mai i taku tamarikitanga, "Chef-Boy-Ardee Raviolis, Captain Crunch Cereal, Frosted Pop Tarts, Tang – te whiringa a ngā kairangi rererangi…" Kua mārama koe ki te āhua.

I mua i te akomanga Ka whakataurite mātou i ngā tuhipoka mō te tino wairangi o ā mātou pukapuka tuhi. Nā tētahi tangata i tuhi ngā mea katoa i kōrerotia e te kaikōrero hōkī NHL. Nā tētahi atu i tuhi ngā pānuitanga katoa i a ia e mātaki ana i ngā wāhanga e rua o Te Anatomy o GrayI whakamārama anō tētahi atu tauira i ngā nekehanga katoa a tana ngeru — me te tāpiri i ngā kōrero tino rorirori i waenganui i ngā mahi.

I whakaaro matou I te hinga mātou i te pūnaha, engari me whakaae mātou kei te tupu tetahi mea. I whakaohokia ngā whakaaro e te mahi a te tuhituhi ā-ringa.

I tēnei rā, he tuhituhinga kei te hoki mai ano.

I kite tata ahau he whakaaturanga pāpāho mō ngā toa o te whakataetae Campaign for Cursive i te tau 2017. Kī tonu i ngā tamariki e whakaaro ana ki te ako i te tuhituhi me te mea he reo, he keri keri whenua rānei. He hunga whai mana tuhituhi rātou, e whakahīhī ana ki te mōhio ki tētahi reo kāore i te mōhiotia e te nuinga o ō rātou hoa.

Ka waiho koe e au me te hononga pai ki Ngā Huarahi Whakamiharo e 9 a Johanna Silver e Whai Hua ai te Tuhi ā-Ringa ki ō Tātou Tinana me ō Tātou Roro, me te titiro whakamuri ki ngā mahi whakamīharo katoa i mahia e te whetu o te New York Yankees, a Alex Rodriquez, mā tana whakapāha i tuhituhi ā-ringa ki ngā kaiwhaiwhai o te pēihipora.

Ko Kathy Aspden te kaituhi o Ko Baklava, ko Biscotti, me tētahi tangata Airani, me te arotake pukapuka hoki mō LitLovers.

He iti te ngahau:  Kua kite koe—he uaua ki te kore—i ngā pukapuka katoa ko te taitara ko Somebody's Daughter? Kua mōhio koe ki tētahi o ēnei?   

Te Tamahine a te Kaiwhakatahe          Te Tamahine a te Kaitiaki Mahara
Te Tamahine a te Kaiwhakatō Wheua          Te Tamahine a te Kaimātai Atawhai
Te Tamahine a te Wahine Whakaipoipo Te Tamahine a te Pāira
Te Tamahine a Kariri                       Te Tamahine a Vermeer

E hia noa He aha ngā taitara tamāhine kei reira? E 360 pea ngā taitara—pēnei i te "Tamahine a tētahi" me te "Tamahine a tētahi mea".  Anei te rarangi katoa.

Nā te aha tēnei whakapūmautanga mō ngā uri wahine—he kaupapa hokohoko hei kukume i ngā wāhine? Engari kotahi te taitara e tata ana ki te 200 tau te pakeke. I kitea anō hoki ko Balzac, ko Dumas, ko Hawthorne, ko DH Lawrence, ko Orwell, ko Walter Scott, me Zola i uru atu ki tēnei mahi. I whai kamupene hokohoko anō rānei rātou i taua wā?

DH Lawrence's Ko te pakiwaitara poto, "Te Tamahine a te Kaihokohoko Hōiho," e kī ana i riro i te wahine taitamariki te taitara te tuakiri o tōna pāpā, ā, ka whakahaere ia i tana hoa wahine pērā i tana pāpā i āna hōiho—he taitara e whakaatu ana i te whakapono ki te whakatau ā-whānau. (Tirohia te Akoranga 9.) 

Āe, kotahi ki raro, engari e 359 ngā taitara kāore anō kia whakamāramahia. He ariā anō?

Mehemea i rite koe ki ahau, e whakaaro ana me pēhea te āhua o te Whakaaturanga o te Ao i Te pukapuka a Erik LarsonKāore i tino āwhina ngā whakaahua o te pukapuka. Kia māia: Kei raro nei tētahi whakaahua i puta i roto i te nūpepa o te rā nei New York Times, te whārangi o mua o te wāhanga "Arotake o te Wiki". Inaianei ka kite tātou i te take o te ngangau!

 

 

 

Kaituhi a Joe Queenan i whakaaro ia ka whiwhi pea ia i ētahi tāra tāpiri mā te whakamātau i tana ringa ki te tuhituhi i ētahi pātai kōrero—ko ngā mea e tukuna ana e ngā kaiwhakaputa mō ngā karapu pukapuka. (Tirohia tā mātou Kaiarahi Panui.)

I whakatau a Kuini ki te Tirohia ngā mahi a ētahi atu, ā, i miharo ia ki tāna i kite ai—he pātai rerekē e "āki ana i ngā kaipānui ki te whakaaro i waho o te pouaka." E kīia ana e ia he "pātai kāore i te tino mārama." Anei tētahi tauira:

Ngā Pātai i Waho i te Taiepa

Anna Karenina—Me i ora a Ana i tō tātou wā, he aha te rerekētanga o tana kōrero?

Etana Mai— He tino pōuri rawa tēnei pukapuka, kāore e tika kia pārekareka ki te tangata? [ He pono! ]

Tuhinga Whakamoemiti— Kua mātakitaki koe i tētahi putanga kiriata i reira ko te wahine e takaro ana i a Jane, e ai ki tā Austen i whakaaro ai, he tino ataahua ake i te wahine e takaro ana i a Elizabeth?
                              "Ka tū he pātaitai," a Joe Queenan.
                                Te Times o Niu Ioka (4-6-08).

E aroha ana a Kuini ēnei pātai nā te mea "ka wiri i te ao tawhito haukū o te tuhituhi." Ā, he mea pai tēnā, nā te mea ki taku whakaaro kua roa ngā karapu pukapuka e mahi ana i tēnā. Ina hoki, kāore ianei te mahi a te tuhituhi i ngā wā katoa he wiri i ngā mea, he wero i ngā whakaaro whakamarie? (Tirohia tā mātou kore utu Akoranga Pukapuka 1—He aha tātou i pānui ai.)

Engari he pātai anō tāku:

Ngā pātai mō ngā karapu pukapuka

1. Kei te whakamahi koe i ngā pātai kōrero pukapuka? Mena koinā, me pēhea e ngana ai koe ki te whakautu i aua pātai—me pēhea rānei te whakamahi hei huarahi whānui ake hei āwhina i a koe ki te arotahi ki tētahi wāhanga o te pukapuka?
2. Ka aha Ngā Pātai Pukapuka Whānui? Ka whakamahia e koe ēnei i ētahi wā? He āwhina? Ki ahau nei, te āhua nei ka tere ake te uru atu ki te ngako o te pukapuka i ngā pātai a ngā kaiwhakaputa—he rite tonu ki tētahi whakamātautau reo Ingarihi tino uaua.
   
   

Whakahaerehia ngā karapu pukapuka whakakino i taua āhuatanga ngaro o te mahi pānui—te kawe ki tētahi atu ao?

He New York Times E ai ki te kaituhi e hae ana ia ki te kaha o tana tamāhine 11-tau te pakeke ki te whakauru atu ki roto i tētahi pūrākau e pānuihia ana e ia. E ai ki te kaituhi, he kaipānui tātari, e hiahia ana ia ki tōna tamarikitanga i te wā e taea ai e ia te ngaro katoa i roto i te makutu o tētahi pukapuka.

Kāore au i te tino mōhio nōnahea, me pēhea rānei ahau i tīmata ai ki te pānui pukapuka noa iho, kaua ki te noho ki roto i aua pukapuka…. Engari ki taku whakaaro…ko te hua o taku tipu ake ko te maha rawa o aku ake whakaaro, ā, kāore i taea e au te tuku ngākau katoa ki te whakaaro o te noho ki roto i te ao o tētahi atu..

—"Me i taea e au te pānui pēnei i te kōtiro," Michelle Slatalla, New York Times, 1 / 1 / 09

Mā te "pānui noa iho," Ki taku whakaaro ko te tikanga o Slatalla ko te pānui me te aro nui, kaua ko te makutu noa iho. Engari ki ahau nei, he rite tonu te pānui me te whakaaro. Ko ngā whakaaro, ngā wheako o te ao, me te mātauranga kua tutukihia ka whakarei ake i te wheako pānui. 

TKāore pea tēnei e tika mō te katoa. Ā, he maha ngā wā ka pai ahau ki te "pānui noa" me te kore e mahi i ngā mahi taumaha.

Ngā Pātai mō ngā Karapu Pukapuka

1. Me whai kanohi tātari, me kanohi ruarua pea koe ki te pānui pukapuka ina uru atu koe ki tētahi karapu pukapuka? Mēnā koinā, ka whakaitihia rānei tō hiahia ki te pānui pukapuka?
2. I tētahi hui karapu pukapuka kua puta kē tō whakaaro mō tētahi pukapuka nā te kōrero i puta? 
3. Ka mutu, ka pānui koe i a koe anō . . . hei ngahau noa iho?
   
   

Kopere iti, taua taitara. Ki taku whakaaro he tokomaha ngā tāne e uru atu ana ki ngā karapu pukapuka — ina hoki i pānuitia e au tētahi i ēnei rā tata nei. 

Te Mane Tuarua Kei roto i te putanga o Whiringa-ā-rangi-Hakihea '08 te Rōpū Pukapuka Tāne i Melbourne, Florida Tohuwāhi maheni. He kōrero whakakatakata—i mua i te whakatūnga o tā rātou rōpū, i whakaaro rātou me tirotiro mēnā ka taea e rātou te whakauru atu ki tētahi o ngā karapu pukapuka a ā rātou wāhine. Anei te mea i tupu:

I whakaarahia ake e mātou. I tino whakahēngia e rātou. Ka whakarerekētia e mātou ō rātou āhua mā te noho noa iho—ā, he aha te mea ka tupu mēnā ka puaki ō mātou waha?

Ka kawea mai kia maumahara ki te katakata: Ki te noho ko ia anake i roto i te ngahere, ā, ka kōrero ia ... kei te hē tonu ia? Te āhua nei. Ahakoa rā, i whakatau ngā tāne ki te whakatū i tā rātou ake karapu, e whitu pea te tokomaha ināianei.

I roto i te panui o mua, i whakaaro ahau he aha te momo pukapuka e pānuihia ana e ngā tāne. Āe, koinei te whakaaro o te rōpū Mane Tuarua:

Nonfiction

Tuxedo Park (radar) | Cadillac Desert (hanga tāmi) | Soul of a New Machine (rorohiko) | Jungle (tākai mīti) | Washington's Crossing (hītori) | American Theocracy (tōrangapū) | Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman (pūrākau a te tohunga ahupūngao) | Everglades, River of Grass (hītori) | West With the Night (pūrākau a te kaiurungi wahine) | He aha i kino ai ngā Amerikana ki ngā tōrangapū (tōrangapū).  

pakimaero

Ātemita nā Ian McEwan |  Rāhoroi nā McEwan | Te Rangatira me te Kaihautū nā Patrick O'Brien |  Taku Antonia nā Willa Cather | Te Tūāpapa nā Isaac Asimov (pūtaiao-pūrākau) | Maltese Falcom nā Dashiell Hammett | Big Sleep nā Raymond Chandler |  Te Uniana Pirihimana Yiddish nā Michael Chabon |  Suite Wīwī nā Irene Nemirovsky |  Te Kite Whakawhiti nā Khaled Hosseini.

Ngā kitenga? 

1. He nui ngā kōrero pono—50%. 
2. Te nuinga o ngā kaituhi tāne—80%. 
3. He rite ngā kōwhiringa pukapuka pakiwaitara ki ngā karapu wahine—me ngā pakiwaitara pūtaiao-pūrākau (Asimov) me ngā pakiwaitara mahi-mōrearea/hītori (O'Brien).  

pātai:  He rārangi noa iho tēnei mō ngā karapu pukapuka tāne—e 50% o ngā pukapuka he pukapuka pono, ā, e 80% o ngā kaituhi he tāne?

Ano, tirohia Nā…Kei hea ngā tāne? — he pou o mua mō ngā tāne me ngā karapu pukapuka.

He mea tika kia whakahuatia:  Publishers Weekly (PW)) i pātai atu ki a Claire Messud i roto i tētahi uiuinga tata nei, ā, i puta mai he urupare whakamiharo. He mea whakamiharo rawa atu, he mea tika kia pūrongohia i konei.

Te patai i āwangawanga mō te toa wahine i roto i te pukapuka hou a Messud, Te Wahine ki Runga.

I mea atu a PW: "Kāore au e hiahia ki te noho hoa mō Nora, āe? He tino pōuri rawa tōna āhua."

Ka whakautu a Messud . . .

Aue, te rangimārie, He aha te momo pātai tēnā? E hiahia ana koe ki te noho hoa ki a Humbert Humbert?

Kei te pirangi koe ki te noho hei hoa mō Mickey Sabbath?
...Hareem Hinai?
...Hemareti?
...Krapp?
...Ōtipu?
...Oscar Wao?
...Antigone?
...Raskolnikov?
...Ko ētahi o ngā kiripuaki i roto i Ngā Whakatikatika?
...Ko ētahi o ngā kiripuaki i roto i te Infinite Jest?
...Ko ētahi o ngā kiripuaki i roto i ngā tuhinga a Pynchon?
...Mā Martin Amis rānei?
...Ko Orhan Pamuk rānei?
"...Ā, ko Alice Munro rānei?"

Ki te mea kei te pānui koe hei kimi hoa, kei roto koe i te raruraru nui. Ka pānui tātou kia kitea ai te ora, me ōna āheinga katoa. Ko te pātai e tika ana ehara i te "he hoa pea tēnei māku?" engari "kei te ora tonu tēnei kiripuaki?"

Kaua e raruraru ki a Messud!—i pēhea PW i whakautu ki te whakautu a Messud. I tino "whakapouri" te kaituhi i tana kōrero, PW i whakaae, ENGARI...i hoatu he wā ki a Messud ki te "whakaatu i ana pūkenga. E harikoa ana mātou i taua kōrero," i mutu PW me te atawhai.

Messud Ko ia te kaituhi o te tau 2006 Ngā Tamariki a te Emepara (kite aratohu pānui i koneitirohia LitLovers arotakehia i konei), me tēnei pukapuka hou rawa atu o te tau 2013, Te Wahine ki Runga.

Hei whakaaro mā ngā karapu pukapuka:
1. Ka pānui pukapuka tātou hei kimi hoa?
2. He aha te hiranga o te pai ki ngā kiripuaki o roto i ngā pukapuka?
3. E pōuri ana rānei tātou ina kore tātou e pai ki a rātou?
4. Kōrerohia ētahi o ngā pukapuka kua pānuihia e koe, me te mea i pā tō pai ki aua pukapuka—i pouri rānei koe ki aua pukapuka—ki te āhua o te hunga kiripuaki e pai ana ki a koe.

Āe, ngā harikoa o ngā karapu pukapuka! Nō tā mātou pouaka mēra tēnei whakawhitiwhiti kōrero, ā, nō te REPUBLIKA O TOMINIKANA mai anō. He momo īmēra tēnei e menemene nui ana i ō mātou mata, ā, e tino ngahau ai ā mātou mahi.

February 9, 2014
I tino aroha ahau ki tēnei paetukutuku, nō reira i whakatūria ai e au taku karapu pukapuka I TĒNEI RĀ! Tata ki te 8 ngā mema kua tae mai! Nō reira, kia kite tātou i te aha ka puta. I tapaina e au i muri i ōku inihua. LOL Nō reira, ko te Karapu Pukapuka a MQ te ingoa.
—mai i MQ,
Dominican Republic


February 24, 2015
Ko te rā tēnei. Ka tukuna atu e au ngā tuhipoka me ētahi pikitia ki a koe :D harikoa rawa ahau. Tekau mā whā ngā kōtiro ināianei, i te tīmatanga. Kia kite tātou mēnā ka mau tonu.
—mai i MQ


March 2, 2015
I pai te haere o ngā mea katoa.... I harikoa te katoa ki te whakauru mai, ā, i tino harikoa ahau ki te whakatutuki i tēnei moemoeā iti. Ko ā mātou whiringa tuatahi ko "Te Piriniha Iti" me "Te Tangata Kaumātua me te Moana": nā te mea he pukapuka rongonui, he ngāwari hoki te pānui. (Kāore au i hiahia ki te tīmata me tētahi pukapuka ka taea te hoatu he take ki te tangata kia kaua e pānui!).
—mai i MQ

Me ētahi atu ngā whakaahua. Ngā mihi nui ki te karapu pukapuka HOU a MQ!

He nui ā mātou ētahi atu karapu hei pānui. Tirohia ā mātou karapu whakahirahira katoa...ā, whakaarohia kia whakaatuhia tō karapu ki LitLovers.

HE TINIHANGA MAKUTU TE PŪRAKA. Engari i tōna taumata pai, kāore e whakaoho noa i tētahi ao pakiwaitara; ka ngaro te ao tūturu, ka ngaro te kaituhi. Ko te pukapuka anake ka taea tēnei - ka ngaro rawa atu koe i a koe anō. Nō reira, ki te taea e koe, warewarehia ngā mea katoa. Kia mau tonu ki te pukapuka..

Jami Attenberg, Kaituhi o Kua pakeke katoa
Uiuinga, NY Times Arotake Pukapuka, Maehe 26, 2017

Ā, i te kokonga kē atu...

He arai nui ki te mātauranga pai ko te nui o te hiahia ki ngā pukapuka pakiwaitara, me te wā e moumou ana ki taua pānui pukapuka. me whakamahi hei whakaako. Ina pangia te hinengaro e tēnei paitini, … ko te mutunga he whakaaro pupuhi, he whakatau kino, me te whakarihariha ki ngā mahi tūturu katoa o te ao.

Thomas Jefferson 
He reta ki a Nathaniel Burwell, Maehe 14, 1818

 

 

Kia ora…kia ora…kia ora……  He rite ngā karapu pukapuka ki ngā rūma whakaata—e pānui ana, e kōrero ana mō ngā pukapuka kotahi? Joshua Henkin (Matrimony) āwangawanga kei te: e mōhio ana koe, ngā pukapuka pēnei i Water for Elephants; Kai, Tata, Aroha; Kaieke ManuKei te pānui katoa tātou i aua pukapuka, ā, kei te arotake anō hoki i ngā mea kotahi.

Tenei te pehea E kī ana a Henkin:

He maha ngā pukapuka pai kei waho kāore i te mōhiotia e te iwi . . . . [I taua wā anō] he iti ake ngā pukapuka he nui ake ngā kaipānui . . . . Nā reira, kua uaua ake te whiwhi i te aro e tika ana mā ngā pukapuka katoa engari he torutoru noa iho..   
                                        -Ngā Pukapuka mō te Roro, 4 / 29 / 08 

He pakari te whakapae a Henkin. Aroha mai ki ngā kaituhi hou e ngana ana kia kitea ā rātou pukapuka. He mea whakapōuri tēnei.

Ahakoa ra, he mea whakaharikoa kei roto i te whārangi kotahi te tokomaha o tātou. He rite te kaupapa karapu pukapuka ki te tāone e whakatairanga ana i tētahi pukapuka kotahi hei pānui mā ōna kainoho. Tūtaki ki tētahi i te pouaka whakamatao wai, i te toa hokohoko, i runga pahi… ā, ka tīmata he kōrero. "E, he aha tāu e pai ai ki a koe" Kai, Tata, Aroha"Kua pānui koe i tēnei me tērā?" E ngāwari ana te kimi i ngā mea e rite ana, ahakoa ki te hunga tauhou.

Ā, i a Henkin he tika—he tokomaha atu ngā kaituhi e tika ana kia aro atu tātou—tērā pea he nui ake te kanorau o ngā rārangi karapu pukapuka i tā te mea i whakaarohia.

E mau ki te titiro i te rārangi i raro nei. He tauira noa iho tēnei o ngā taitara kua puta ake i te paetukutuku LitLovers—ko ētahi kua whakahuatia e ā mātou karapu pukapuka matua, ko ētahi i ahu mai i te hunga e īmēra mai ana ki ahau ki te tono aratohu kaipānui. He rārangi whakamere tēnei.

Tirohia ngā pou katoa mō te tuhinga a Joshua Henkin mō te karapu pukapuka.

1. Ngā Karapu Pukapuka—he mātau ake i ngā kairīti pukapuka?
2. Nā … Kei hea ngā tāne katoa?
3. I kata ahau! I tangi ahau! — me pēhea tā tātou kōrero mō ngā pukapuka?
   
   

E ake koe kei te tangi koe i te mutunga o te pukapuka—ka mutu te rerenga whakamutunga, ā, e rite ana ki te poroporoaki ki tētahi hoa aroha?

I te pānui au Nā Richard Ford Te Reinga o te Whenua. I taku taenga ki te mutunga, kua mau rawa ahau i roto i te hinengaro o Frank Bascombe—tōna ao me ōna whakaaro mō te ao—nō reira he uaua ki te whakarērea ia.

Kātahi ka tahuri ahau ki te tīmata i tētahi pukapuka hou, ā, i kitea e au he uaua. Pērā i te kimi hoa hou—i hiahiatia he kaha me te whakapau kaha.

E pai ana rānei ahau ki ēnei tāngata? E hiahia ana ahau ki te noho tahi me rātou? E hiahia ana ahau ki te ako i ngā mea katoa mō rātou? Ko te tumanako, ka piri tonu tātou ki te pukapuka, tae noa ki te wā e mimiti ai tātou i te pūrākau—ā, ka uru anō tātou ki roto. Ae rā...kātahi ka poroporoaki.

Ngā Pātai mō ngā Karapu Pukapuka

1. Ko ēhea ngā pukapuka i uaua ki a koe te whakaoti—he rite ki te poroporoaki ki ngā hoa aroha?  

2. Ko ēhea ngā pukapuka i uaua ai koe ki te pānui? Kāore koe i te tino mōhio kei a koe te kaha, te hiahia rānei hei whakangao ki te mōhio ki tētahi rōpū tangata hou.

Tirohia te LitLovers Featured LitClub hou rawa atu—he rōpū mātau o ngā tāngata o Niu Ioka, e aro ana ki te rārangi tohu Booker Prize (ngā toa me ngā kaitono). He pānui whakamiharo tēnā!

Kei a ratau hoki He whakaaro pai rawa atu tēnei mō tētahi karapu pukapuka—he Whakawhiti Pukapuka. I whakaritea e te rōpū tētahi Whakawhiti Pukapuka i tētahi whare pukapuka i SoHo (SoHo…āe, he rawe tēnā?) me tētahi karapu pukapuka hōia o te Peace Corp. Nā te angitu rawa o tēnei mahi, e hiahia ana te whare pukapuka kia waiho hei huihuinga ā-wā.

Ngā rōpū e rua kei te whakaaro hoki rātou ki te pānui tahi me te kōrero tahi. Ka pānui te rōpū Peace Corp i ngā pukapuka o te ao, he hononga ataahua ki te rārangi o ngā Tohu Booker. *

* Ko te Tohu Man Booker o Peretānia ka whakawhiwhia ki ngā pukapuka pakiwaitara i tuhia ki te reo Ingarihi nā ngā kaituhi o te Commonwealth of Nations e 54 ngā mema, tae atu ki a Airana me Zimbabwe. Ko ngā iwi Commonwealth ko ngā whenua i Āwherika, te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa ki te Tonga, me te Karipiana, tae atu ki Ahitereiria, Kanata, Īnia, Aotearoa.

Ki te pai koe ki ngā pukapuka mō tētahi kaupapa…ka pai koe ki Ngā Tohutohu Pukapuka e Pai ana mō te Rama, he pae hou e whakarārangi ana i ngā pukapuka i runga i te kaupapa. Tae noa ki tēnei wā, e 370 ngā rārangi rerekē o te pae, i roto i te 50+ ngā kāwai, me te tata ki te 5,000 ngā pukapuka. Anei tētahi tauira iti:

Ngā Rārangi e Tika ana mō te Rama 

Ngā Pukapuka mō . . .
Ngā Whānau i roto i te Pakiwaitara me te Whakamaharatanga
Ngā Wahine o Tētahi Atu Wā
Aperahama Lincoln
dystopian
Pūrākau Hara–Mō ngā Wahine nā ngā Wahine
Aroha–Kāore anō pea kia pānuihia e tō karapu
Ngā Āwherika-Amerika – Ehara i te mea mō te Marama Hītori Mangu anake
Wāpī
Te Pōrangi e Hono Atu Ana Tātou Katoa
Me te Moana kei te Tirohanga

Nō reira, haere ki te paetukutuku hei kimi i ētahi whakaaro me ngā taunakitanga pai mō tō karapu pukapuka…mōu ake rānei.

Whakaarohia tenei: kei te noho koe i tētahi hōtēra whakahīhī i te Tāone o Niu Ioka, kei te inu, kei te kai, kei te noho tahi me ngā tino tohunga tuhituhi, ā, ka whiwhi koe i tētahi putea koha...pērā i ngā mea i tohaina i ngā rā whānau tamariki. Anake e kore rite ratou.

Tō putea koha Kei roto i tēnei pukapuka ngā pukapuka tekau mā rua...ka tukuna ki tō rūma hōtēra...ā, kua tīpakohia e tētahi kaituhi toa i te Tohu Pulitizer. Māu. Māu katoa. Āe! Harikoa pōuri, harikoa pōuri!

Koinei te mutunga o te Hunga Rawakore i whai wāhi ki te PEN Festival of International Literature mai i te 30 o Paenga-whāwhā, 2012. Ko te toa Pulitzer tonu, ko Jennifer Egan tonu mō He Haerenga mai i te Rōpū GoonI karangatia ia ki te whiriwhiri i ngā pukapuka mō te putea koha—koinei āna i whiriwhiri ai...me te take hoki:

Emma nā Jane Austen
Ngā mahi tōrangapū e whakaahua ana i te marena. He tohunga pāngarau a Austen mō ngā taunekeneke pāpori, ā, he tino pai, he koretake hoki āna pukapuka. Emma koinei taku tino pai.

te Image nā Daniel J. Boorstin
I te tau 1961, i mua i te tata o te Pakanga o Vietnam ki te whakaatahia i te pouaka whakaata, i kitea e Boorstin...he hiahia mō te pono e puta mai ana i te pikinga ake o te whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro i waenga i ngā wheako tangata. He pono tonu ana kitenga ahakoa i te wā o Pukamata me YouTube.

Don Juan na te Ariki Byron
Ko wai ka ātete i tētahi rotarota nui e whakaatu ana i te pakaru o te kaipuke o te toa, e huna ana i roto i tētahi whare wahine (kātahi ka whiriwhiria e te sultan mō tētahi pō whakangahau), e piri tahi ana ki a Catherine te Nui, me ētahi atu mahi takaro mutunga kore—e kōrerotia ana i roto i ngā rotarota piko, whanoke a Byron?

reinga nā Don Delillo
Ko tāku pukapuka Amerikana tino pai o ngā tau 25 kua pahure. He tirohanga nui mō te Pakanga Matao me ōna huanga, e taea ai e DeLillo te whakaatu i te ao whānui, te ao piripono, te ao tōrangapū, te ao katakata, me te ao pouri.

Middlemarch nā George Elliot
He pukapuka Ingarihi whakahīhī nō te rautau 19, he pukapuka whakahihiri e aro nui ana ki te tini o ngā kiripuaki, ā, he uaua ki te whakataka.

Te tangata e kore e kitea nā Ralph Ellison
He pūrākau pakiwaitara e whakaatu ana i ngā tukinotanga o te whakatoi iwi, engari i te mutunga ka whakaurua rātou ki roto i te whakaaroaro mō te tuakiri me te panonitanga, ā, he rite tonu ki te pūrākau.

Te Whakawhiti o Hine-ā-rangi nā Shirley Hazzard
Tino ahurei: he kōrero ngāwari, he koi te tuhituhi, he whānui te whānuitanga e kapi ana i te oranga o tētahi wahine rangatahi o Ahitereiria i tae mai ki Ingarangi.

Te Pukatuhi koura nā Dorris Lessing
He mahi whakamiharo, he mahi whakamātautau, engari he mahi tangata tūturu, e kaha ana ki te whakakotahi i te tirohanga tōrangapū (te kore e aro ki te kōmiuniti) me te tirohanga pāpori (ngā wāhine, ngā tāne, me ngā tukinga i waenganui i a rātou).

Ataata pai, waenganui po nā Jean Rhys
He pūmau, he pōuri, he hohonu hoki te āhuarangi. Ka tangohia e Rhys tētahi kōrero hopu – he pakiwaitara hoki – mai i ngā haerenga takitahi a tētahi wahine waipiro i Pais.

Tristam Shandy nā Laurence Sterne
Ko tētahi o ngā pukapuka tuatahi i te reo Ingarihi...he mahi whakahihiri, whakahihiri hoki i muri i te ao hou. He whakamahara ngākau ki te mana, te ngāwari ki te nekeneke, me te takaro hōhonu o te āhua o te pukapuka.

Te Whare o Mirth nā Edith Wharton
He mea pōuri i te tikanga tawhito, engari he mea whakakatakata anō hoki, he matatini, he mātau hoki ki te taha pāpori; ko te aromatawai hauhautanga o te pukapuka mō te tataunga o te ataahua me te taonga e tino pono ana ahakoa i tō tātou wā rerekē rawa atu.

Germinal nā Emile Zola
Ko tāku pukapuka pūrongo tino pai o te rautau 19. He kōrero oraora e kī ana i ngā wāhanga whakamiharo -- pērā i te hōiho e tukuna ana ki roto i te maina waro -- me te whakapae nanakia hoki mō te tukino a te umanga keri i ana kaimahi.

Ngā mihi ki Te Daily kararehe. Ā, ngā mihi nui ki taku kaitiaki pukapuka aroha, ki a Lynne Schneider, i te Whare Pukapuka ā-Iwi o Sewickley, mō te tuku mai i te tuhinga tānga ki ahau.

He rārangi tino pai. Ki te mea kāore anō kia pānuihia e koe katoa...āe, ko te nuinga o tātou kāore anō kia pānuihia. Kāore e puta wawe mai ki te hinengaro...kāore hoki i te tihi o te rārangi pānui a te katoa. Engari ANEI TE PĀTAI: he aha te mea ka koe whiriwhiri kia noho ki roto i te putea koha?

Panuihia e koe ... ā, pānui ... ā, pānui tonu koe. Ā, ki tō whakaaro he tino mōhio koe ki ngā kaituhi.

Katahi koe haere mai i runga i tētahi kua tuhi pukapuka e 8—e 8 kia mahara!—ā, kāore koe i te mōhio. Kei te tino pēnei koe, nō reira ... me kī atu ahau ... aue ... kāore anō kia pānuitia!!

Koinei te mea I tupu tēnei ki a Elinor Lipman. I tētahi wāhi ka tūtaki ahau ki tōna ingoa. Hmmm ... he āhua mōhio tērā, engari he āhua noa iho ... ka tirohia e au ia ... āe, e te Atua! I miharo ahau - nā āna mahi me ngā arotake pai kua kohia e ia i roto i ngā tau. Nō reira, kei hea ahau?

He aha a Lipman kāore i te kei ngā ngutu o ngā mema katoa o te karapu pukapuka o te motu? He katakata ia, he mātau, he mārama… ā, he haruru tana kōrero. Me pānui tātou i ana tuhinga!

Kei te mahi ahau taku ara whakamuri i roto i ana pukapuka. Tae noa mai ki tēnei wā kua pānuihia e au Taku Amuamu Hou, Te Whai i a Alice Thrift a Kua wehe atu. He mea whakamiharo... Tirohia ā mātou aratohu pānui mō ētahi atu pukapuka e 4 a Lipman — kei runga i tā mātou rārangi LitGuide...L mō Lipman!

Kei te whakamahere ahau ki te pānui i ngā pukapuka e waru katoa ... i ētahi wā.

Āue...! Te Hārowini kei te haere mai. I tono mai tētahi kaipānui kia whakaarohia e au ngā whakaaro mō ngā pukapuka ngaro whakamataku. Nā te kaituhi tonu i tūtohu te pukapuka a Diane Setterfield Te Korero Tekau ma toruPai rawa atu!

Teie te tahi I puta ake i ahau—ko te nuinga he mahi tawhito:

 

• Ripeka nā Daphne Du Maurier, 1938 (he tino pai rawa atu)
• Jane Eyre nā Charlotte Bronte, 1847 (ngā wāhine porangi i te tuanui)
• Ko Te Wahine i White nā Wilkie Collins, 1859-60 (reka rawa)
• Te Hound of the Baskervilles nā Conan Doyle, 1091-02 (te Sherlock rāua ko Watson nui)
• Te ahiahi nā Stephanie Meyer, 2003 (kei a mātou ngā aratohu mō te raupapa katoa o ngā vampire)
• He mea whakamataku nā Stephen King… He whakaaro motuhake mai i tētahi?

Mēnā he whakaaro anō tā tetahi, tēnā whakamōhio mai. E hiahia ana mātou ki te whakarongo atu ki a koe.

Ko te Kōtiro Kore (Rosamund Pike, Ben Affleck) I mua i taku moe (Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth)

TIROHIA rātou! Ko ēnei tāngata ataahua me ā rātou marena pōrearea—e kukume ana i a tātou. He pono, he kiripuaki noa iho rātou nō roto i ngā PUKAPUKA, kua kitea nei kua nui rawa atu te tuhituhi i runga i te mata, engari tonu...

Pāwhiritia ia uhi mō tētahi whakarāpopototanga.

Mā tā mātou tatau, e waru pea ngā kiriata whakahihiri ā-rohe kua tae ki ngā whata mai i te tau 2011 me te tau 2012—me te whakaputanga o I mua i taku haerenga ki te moe a Gone Girl.

whakaaro te nui o te aro kua riro mai i ngā pukapuka—ngā hoko pukapuka me ngā mana kiriata—te āhua nei kāore e ranea. Ko te pātai, he aha?

He aha tēnei mate kino He mīharo? E pā ana ngā pukapuka e waru ki ngā marena whakamataku hinengaro; he pono, ko tō rātou rongonui e whakaatu ana i ētahi manukanuka kei roto i a mātou. Kāore anō mātou kia aro ki ngā whakaaturanga pouaka whakaata Ngā Wahine me ngā Maripi ki te whai whakaaro!

I te iti rawa, ko te maha o ngā pukapuka—me tō rātou rongonui—e whakaatu ana i tētahi waiaro hou, whakararuraru hoki ki te marena, kua whakaarohia tonutia nei ko te sine qua non he oranga whai hua. E mōhio ana te katoa ki te pātai e kitea whānuitia ana, "Ka moe tāne koe?"

He whakapae pea o te whanaungatanga piripono, he mataku e tipu haere ana kei kore e taea te hononga pono. E whakaata ana ngā pukapuka katoa i te kore whakawhirinaki ā-roto ki "te tangata kē"—inā hoki, ko tā rātou kaupapa matua ko te kore e taea pono te mōhio ki tētahi atu mea, tae atu ki ngā hoa rangatira.

Tērā pea kei te whakapae tātou Kāore te marena e taea te mahi hei mana whakau, hei mana whakakotahi rānei i te ao. Kāore rawa tetahi o ngā marena i roto i ēnei pukapuka e ārai i te pōrearea me te mokemoke. Ko te ritenga kē.

Āe, pōuri! Tēnei anō tātou, e takaro ana ki ngā puke mole me ngā maunga. Hei momo kiriata whakamataku, he roa te hītori o ngā kiriata whakahihiri hei whakangahau pai—whakaarohia Dr. Jekyll me Mr Hyde... ara Hamlet...hoki atu rānei ki Oedipus, mō tēnā take. He āhuatanga ahurea rongonui anō pea tēnei—pērā i ngā Tūpāpaku.

E te kaipānui,, he uaua ki te whakaaro kāore he tikanga o ēnei mea katoa. Nā te mea, kāore ianei te tuhinga e pā ana ki tētahi mea? (Āe, me te porangi o ngā tūpāpaku? Kua ara ake ngā pātai ōrite...)

He aha ō whakaaro? He whakaaro anō?
