Incwadi Ephoqelelayo Igcizelela amaqiniso ama-3 obuhlobo

Incwadi ephumelelayo ingasikhuthaza, isazise, ​​noma isijabulise. Edwidge Danticat's Konke Ngaphakathi (I-Knopf, 2019), iqoqo lezindaba ezimfushane eziyisishiyagalombili, zikwenza kontathu lokhu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, le ncwadi, eyanqoba iNational Book Critics Circle Award, ikhanyisa amaqiniso amathathu wezengqondo ngobudlelwano namandla amakhulu kunezifundo eziningi ezinamandla.

Igugu ngalinye eqoqweni lichaza isehlakalo esithile esikhanyisa indlela esidinga ngayo ukunikela uthando kwabanye, ukubaluleka kokupha okudlula lokho kokwamukela, kanye nokungenakugwemeka kobuhlungu nokulahleka ngenxa yeqiniso elibalulekile lokungaguquki.

Incwadi kaDanticat ayintofontofo ikakhulukazi — kodwa-ke, nempilo ayiphili ngokuphelele. Abantu ezindabeni zakhe bahamba ebudlelwaneni babo nomhlatshelo (ngokwesibonelo, "ama-Dosas"), bazama ukuguqula ukukhashelwa nokuzizwa benecala ngokushona komlingane nokufa kwengane ("Isipho"), noma ukuhlola ubuhlungu obuyingqayizivele bokuvula inhliziyo nokuthola ukuxhashazwa noma ukulinyazwa ngenye indlela (“The Special-Port-au-Prince Marriage Special”). Kwenye indaba ("Ezinsukwini Ezidala"), isibopho esingabonakali, ukulangazelela ukuxhumana kwe-phantom, ngokungazi kuxaka isisusa sowesifazane ongakaze amazi uyise. Komunye futhi, owesifazane onobungane bobuntwana obabungumgogodla (“Izindaba Eziyisikhombisa”) ubambelela kokunamathiselwe okwakumele ukuphepha. Uthola umqondo. Zonke izindaba ziyinkimbinkimbi, zibonisa iqiniso lobudlelwano elingaphezu kwelilodwa.

Abantu bazo zonke izindaba banobudlelwano neHaiti, yize izilungiselelo zisukela eBrooklyn ziye eMiami ziye ePort-au-Prince ziye esiqhingini esingaziwa. Izizinda zabo zinobubanzi bezemfundo kanye namazinga ezomnotho, ubudala kusukela ebuntwaneni kuya ekuwohlokeni komqondo, ukuthanda ubudlelwane kusuka ebunganeni kuya ekuphingeni. Uthando lwakhiwa ezibophweni zobuntwana, ubudlelwano bomndeni, ubudlelwano bothando ngaphakathi nangaphandle komshado, ngisho naphakathi komnikazi wendawo nomsebenzi wakhe. Ubudlelwano bejografi obuhambisanayo, izizukulwane, ubude besikhathi. Kepha izingqikithi ezintathu ezingaphelelwa isikhathi ezingokwengqondo zisakazeka ezindabeni.

Sidinga ukuthanda nokunikela. Amandla enhliziyo yomuntu okuqondisa izinqumo awaphiki kulezi zindaba. Isifiso sokukhathalela omunye umuntu sigqugquzela abalingiswa ukuthi bahlanganyele ezimweni lapho bekhashelwa khona, lapho othandiweyo othile eshiya omunye ukuze athole isikole sezingane eziswele, noma lapho umuntu ngokwemvelo ethatha indima yokuba ubaba ngokwesivumelwano, njengezibonelo. Iminyaka eyishumi yocwaningo lwengqondo igcizelela isidingo sokunamathiselwa kanye nezinzuzo ezitholakala ebuhlotsheni obuseduze lapho izibopho zivikelekile. (Bheka inkomba yeSimpson neRholes, ngezansi.)

Ukupha kudlula ukwamukela. Izindaba eziningana zikhombisa izinga abantu abakhombisa ngalo uthando

ukunikela ngokungazideli komunye, njengekolishi unyaka wokuqala ophendula isicelo sikababa womuntu ahlala naye futhi adlule indawo yakhe yokuhlala ngokunxusa umuntu ahlala naye ngokuzidela ukuba abuyele esikoleni, noma umama osekhulile ofuna ukuthi indodakazi yakhe ikwazi ukuqonda injabulo wokuzinikela usana olusanda kuzalwa. Ngisho nowesifazane onehhotela ngokuzidela uzama ukunakekela umsebenzi oswele. Izincwadi zokuqala zengqondo ezibonisa ukuzidela zibhala izinzuzo zokupha ezidlula lezo zokwamukela. Muva nje, ucwaningo mayelana nokuphana, isihloko esidumile kwisayikholoji enhle, lukhombisile ukubaluleka kokukwazi ukunikeza okuthile okubonakala kuyigugu kwabanye. Uthando lokuzidela, ekuqaleni olwalubizwa nge- “agape,” luhlolwe ezincwadini kusuka kwezikamoya kuya kwi-prosaic, kuzo zombili izifundo zethiyori nezobuciko.

Ukungagwemeki nobuhlungu bokulahlekelwa. Kuzo zonke izindaba ku Konke Ngaphakathi , umfundi

ihlangabezana nokungavikeleki kokulahleka. Izimpilo ziguqulwa unomphela, kungaba ngokufa kwemvelo, ngengozi, ngokulahlwa, ngokugula noma ngokubulawa. Ubuhlungu obudabula kuwo wonke lawa magugu ayingqayizivele buvela ekugcineni ngokungapheli, ngosizi olungenakugwemeka lokuthi ukulahlekelwa ngumuntu omthandayo kumele kuhlupheke. Noma kunjalo okunamathiselwe kuhlale kufanele intengo okufanele ikhokhwe lapho ihlupheka.

Izindaba zikaDanticat, ezibhalwe ngezwi elinamandla futhi “ubuqiniso” obumangazayo, zisebenza ekukhanyiseni inhliziyo yothando, kusukela esidingweni sethu esinentambo eqinile, kuya ekuphaneni komoya okukhuthazayo, eqinisweni lomuntu lokulila futhi, ngethemba, ukuqina kwethu nokukhula kokuhlakanipha esikutholayo lapho kulahleka. Ngibancoma njengesiqalo sokuba ngabantu emhlabeni wobudlelwano.
