- ACTUALIDAD LITERATURA: Inoveli yakho yamva nje inesihloko Indlovu phantsi kweparasol emhlophe. Usixelela ntoni ngayo kwaye yavela phi le mbono?
ELENA ALVAREZ: Indlovu phantsi kweparasol emhlophe Yiyo inoveli yembali ebekwe e-Indochina ngexesha leMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathiyena. Umlinganiswa oyintloko, Fred, ngumfazi oselula okumgangatho ophezulu onyanzelwa ukuba ashiye ikhaya lakhe eLuang Prabang, kumantla eLaos, ukuya kuqhuba. uhambo oko kuya kumthatha kungekuphela nje ukujonga imihlaba kunye neendawo ezintsha, kodwa nokuba azifumane.
Le ngcamango yafika kanye xa ndandifunda incwadi ethetha ngeMfazwe Yomlomo ekhankanywe "umcimbi waseLaos". Emva kokwenza uphando, ndafumanisa ukuba "umcimbi" ubhekiselele kwi inkxaso yeengalo eyanikwa ukusuka eLaos ukuya eViet Minh ngexesha leMfazwe yaseVietnam, apho iLaos yayiphantsi kohlaselo oluninzi lwebhombu yiCIA. Ekugqibeleni, isicwangciso se Indlovu phantsi kweparasol emhlophe kwenzeka kancinane phambi kwayo yonke le nto: kwi Ngama-40, iLaos yayiyinxalenye yobukhosi baseFransi.
- AL: Ngaba ungabuyela kwincwadi yokuqala oyifundileyo? Kwaye ibali lokuqala olibhalileyo?
ELENA ALVAREZ: Xa ndandimncinci, ndandinencwadi (enyathelwe kakuhle) malunga nebali ICinderella endandifundelwa ngumama yonke imihla: ekubeni ndandiyazi ngentloko, ndiyayikhumbula loo nto Ndidlale "funda" ndiphinda ibali elandela oonobumba ngomnwe wakhe, nangona wayengaziqondi!
Ndabhala amabali amafutshane ndisengumntwana, kodwa inoveli yokuqala endiyibhalileyo ndafika ndikhona i-doce iminyaka. Yayiyenye ibali elide kakhulu lefantasy ukuba kuphela abanye babahlobo bam ababefunda ngemihla yabo, kodwa oko kwandenza ndabona ukuba eyona nto ndandiyifuna ngokwenene yayikukuba ngumbhali.
- AL: Umbhali oyintloko? Unokukhetha ngaphezu kweyodwa nakwezinye iindawo.
ELENA ALVAREZ: Kunzima kakhulu ukukhetha, kuba inyanga nenyanga ndifumana ababhali abatsha endibathandayo, kodwa mhlawumbi ngenxa yendlela ekwaphembelela ngayo uhlobo lweenoveli endinqwenela ukuzibhala, ndingatsho ukuba. IGaldos ungumbhali ecaleni kwebhedi yam.
- AL: Nguwuphi umlinganiswa osencwadini onqwenela ukudibana naye kunye nokwenza?
ELENA ALVAREZ: miss IMarple (kwimibuzo yomibini!)
- AL: Ngaba unayo nayiphi na imikhwa okanye imikhwa xa kufikwa ekubhaleni nasekufundeni?
ELENA ALVAREZ: Funda ndingayenza Naphi na, ngoko ke andinazo izinto ezininzi zokuzonwabisa. Ndidla ngokunxiba i ebook engxoweni kwaye phantse ndihlala ndinayo incwadi yeaudio ezandleni zam, endiyiphulaphulayo xa ndisiya emsebenzini okanye xa ndidlala imidlalo. Ewe, xa ndisekhaya ndizama ukuhlala ndifunda ngokukhanya okuhle kunye nesitulo esitofotofo.
Ukubhala Ewe, ndinezinto endizithandayo: ngaphezu kwako konke, ndifuna ukuthula Ngelishwa, andikwazi kuchitha ixesha elininzi ndibhala njengoko ndingathanda, ngoko ke kufuneka ndongeze iiyure endinokuzichitha ndibhala ngokususa iziphazamiso!
- AL: Kwaye indawo oyikhethileyo kunye nexesha lokwenza oko?
ELENA ALVAREZ: Ndiyathanda ukubhalela i kusasa, kuxa ingqondo yam ihlaziyekile kwaye nezimvo zam zihamba ngcono. Akusoloko kusenzeka, iintsuku ezininzi ndibhala emva kokutya okanye ndisebenzise ithuba le ngeveki ukwenza "imarathoni zokubhala" ezincinci. Ndine isifundo esincinci ekhaya elungele ukubhala, ngakumbi ngeentsuku ezinethayo!
- AL: Ngaba zikhona ezinye iintlobo ozithandayo?
ELENA ALVAREZ: Ngokwenene Ndiyifunda yonke into Nangona kuyinyani ukuba eyona nto ndiyonwabelayo ziinoveli zembali, amaxesha ngamaxesha ndiye ndizive ndifuna ukuntywila inoveli Mistery o unayo ezothando. Ngokuphathelele iintsomi, Ndiyazithanda iincwadi okanye iinkumbulo zababhali apho bathetha ngenkqubo yabo yokuyila.
- AL: Ufunda ntoni ngoku? Ukubhala?
ELENA ALVAREZ: Pachinko, nguMin Jin Lee (kukufunda kwakhona); Umfazi omtsha, nguCarmen Laforet (kwi-audiobook) kunye Indoda eyambethe ingubo ebomvunguJulian Barnes.
ndikhona ukusebenza kwinoveli entsha, nayo yimbali, kodwa ijonge ngakumbi kwi Thriller kunokuba i-costumbrismo ephawule imisebenzi yam yokugqibela. Siza kubona okuseleyo. Kunqabile ukuba luluvo lokuqala olufikelela kwiivenkile zeencwadi, kwaye yiyo kanye le nto yenza lo msebenzi ubemhle kangaka.
- AL: Ucinga ukuba unjani umcimbi wopapasho?
ELENA ALVAREZ: Ndiyayazi Ndiyazi nje inxalenye encinci kakhulu irhamncwa elikhulu elikhoyo ukupapasha umhlaba eSpain, ke oku kuya kuba luhlalutyo oluphezulu kakhulu. Kodwa into ecacileyo kukuba imbonakalo inzima kumntu wonke. Ngelishwa, kunzima kakhulu kumbhali ukuba akwazi ukuziphilisa ngobugcisa bakhe (uninzi lwethu lunemisebenzi “yemini” eyondlayo). Kodwa izinto azilulanga kakhulu kubashicileli abazimeleyo kunye neevenkile zeencwadi, kubaguquleli okanye abahloli-zimpazamo, ukunika imizekelo embalwa.
Iincwadi ezininzi zipapashwa yonke imihla. Kunzima kakhulu ukufikelela kubafundi ngokuchanekileyo kuba banoluhlu olubanzi lokukhetha kuzo kwaye iincwadi, zombini ezishicilelweyo kunye nefomathi yedijithali, azibizi. Ngokungathi oko akwanelanga, ubomi obuluncedo bezinto ezintsha buya bufutshane yonke imihla. Iincwadi zitshatyalaliswa mihla le ukuze kuvuleke indawo entsha, ekuya kuthi kwiinyanga ezimbalwa nayo itshatyalaliswe.
Yiyo loo nto ndilixabisa kakhulu ixesha elityalwe ekwenzeni incwadi ibe yinguqulelo engcono yombhali wayo inokuvelisa. Ibonisa xa incwadi ihlelwe ngononophelo, xa uphawula ukuba ugodusa iqhekezana lentliziyo yabo baye basebenza kuyo.
- AL: Ingaba ixesha lobunzima esijongene nalo linzima kuwe okanye uza kukwazi ukugcina into eyakhayo kumabali azayo?
ELENA ALVAREZ: Kuyo yonke into ebomini unokufumana izinto ezilungileyo, okanye ubuncinci amava anokukunceda kwixesha elizayo. Kodwa ndingakube ndiyaxoka xa ndikuxelela ukuba into esiye sadibana nayo kule minyaka idlulileyo ayindichaphazeli. Nangona kunjalo, esinye sezizathu zokuba ndithande ukufunda iinoveli zembali kunye neenoveli ezibhalwe ngabantu bezinye iinkcubeko kukuba ndiyakonwabela ukufunda ukubona ubomi ngamehlo ahlukeneyo. Kwaye oko kundikhokelela ekubeni ndizibuze lo mbuzo: Ngaba ikamva belisoloko limfiliba? Ngaba ibutho lethu libonakala ngathi libutho labantu elingaqinisekanga ngakumbi ngenxa nje yokuba lelo siphila kulo?
