UDLIWANO-NDLEBE NO JAVIER PELLICER

• ACTUALIDAD LITERATURA: Ngaba uyayikhumbula incwadi yokuqala owayifundayo? Kwaye ibali lokuqala olibhalileyo?

JAVIER PELLICER: Ukufundwa kwam okokuqala yayingezizo iincwadi ezinje, zazinjalo amahlaya. Ndaba ngumbulelo womfundi Asterix, Mortadelo kunye Filemón, Spiderman okanye Batman. Olu hlobo lokufunda alunikwa ngokwaneleyo kwikhredithi, kodwa ndicinga ukuba yi- isini ingaba yintoni kubalulekile ukwazisa bantwana kwihlabathi le literatura.

Ngokubhekisele kwibali lokuqala endilibhalileyo, bendinebhongo (kwaye ndingenangqondo) ngokuzithemba ngokupheleleyo I-trilogy emnandi endathi, ngendlela, ndayibopha kwaye ndisaqhubeka nokuyigcina. Ayisiyiyo ngoba ndiyazingca ngaloo nto yoyikekayo (akukho mntu uzalwa efundiswa), kodwa ngokuchanekileyo ukuze andikhumbuze ukuba ndiqhubele phambili kangakanani njengombhali.

• AL: Yeyiphi incwadi yokuqala eyakubetha kwaye ngoba?

JP: Andiqondi ukuba impendulo yeyantlandlolo: INkosi yamasongo. Ngapha koko, ndandiyithanda kakhulu kangangokuba yayiyi ibangela yokuthatha isigqibo sokuba ngumbhali. Kwakhona, ndingenamsebenzi ngam, bendifuna ukulingisa ubugcisa bukaTolkien (yiyo loo nto trilogy bendithetha ngayo ngaphambili). Ixesha elingaphezulu ndilifumene isimbo samKodwa ndiqinisekile ukuba ngaphandle kwempembelelo yomsebenzi kaTolkien kum ngekhe ndicinge ukuba ndingumbhali. Okanye mhlawumbi ewe.

• AL: Ngubani umbhali wakho omthandayo? Unokukhetha ngaphezu kweyodwa nakwezinye iindawo.

JP: Ngaphandle kweTolkien ndingabiza ezinye iiklasikhi ezinje UAsimov, Arthur C. Clarke okanye uStanislaw Lem. Ngoku okwangoku, ndiza kuhlala kunye UTed chiang, kabani anthology ibali lobomi bakho Yeyona nto intle endiyifundileyo kumaxesha akutshanje. Inkqubo ye- intsomi yesayensi Uye wandiphembelela kakhulu. Kwaye ababhali baseSpain, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo olona khetho lwam UJordi Sierra i Fabra.

• AL: Nguwuphi umlinganiswa osencwadini onqwenela ukudibana naye kunye nokwenza?

JP: Ndingathanda ukudibana nomntu endimqwalaselayo Olona phawu lubalaseleyo kuhlobo lwefantasy (nangona incinci kakhulu eyaziwayo): USimon Bolthead (umlinganiswa ophambili wesaga Ukulangazelela nokuzisola, NguTad Williams).

Ku malunga isimilo esakhiwe kakuhle ngokubhekisele kwindaleko yakhe, kwaye lonto imele ukubangcono kunaye nabani na olo hambo lokukhula hayi lweqhawe lakudala, kodwa lomntu, kutshintsho lwakhe ukusuka kulutsha ukuya emdala.

• AL: Ngaba kukho naziphi na izinto ozithandayo xa kufikwa ekubhaleni nasekufundeni?

JP: Ukuthula ngokupheleleyo. Akukho mculo, akukho ziphazamiso. Esona sandi semvula. Y coffee, ikofu eninzi.

• AL: Isixelela ntoni inoveli yakho entsha, ULerna. Ilifa leminotaur?

ULerna yiyo uhlengahlengiso lobuqu yenye yeentsomi zase-Ireland zokusekwa ifakiwe phakathi Incwadi yokuhlaselwa kweIreland, ngokukodwa ukuba ndiyibeke kwimeko yezembali enje nge Ubudala beBronze, kwaye ndiyidibanise nenkcubeko enomdla, impucuko yeMinoan ye ukumkani minos kunye neminotaur.

Ibali liqala nini I-Starn, Unyana omncinci kaKing Minos, ubuyela eKrete kwaye ufumanisa ukuba ubume awabukhumbulayo buphelile: Ukungqubana kosapho kunye isiprofeto Ukubhengeza ukuphela kwendlu yeeMinos kusongela ikamva lakhe, kwaye uStarn kuyakufuneka athathe isigqibo sokuba ujongane nesi sisongelo okanye ahlukane nomntakwabo uPartolón ekhangela ikhaya elitsha.

Yiyo Inoveli yolonwabo, nomthwalo onzima epic nkqu nokuchukumisa iyelenqe Ipalatial, kodwa ngaphezulu kwayo yonke le nto iyi- inoveli yomlinganiswa, ngeemvakalelo zabo kunye nokuzivelela kwabo, kuba oko kusoloko kungumqondiso wam.

• AL: Ezinye iintlobo ozithandayo?

JP: Mhlawumbi umbuzo kufanele ukuba zeziphi iintlobo andizithandi. Ndifundile ndide ndibhale phantse nayiphi na irekhodi, nokuba kungenziwa iinoveli okanye amabali amafutshane. Kancinci kuxhomekeke kumzuzu: Inzululwazi, intsomi, inkanuko, ezembali, zangoku… Ndicinga ukuba ngaphezulu kombuzo wohlobo, ingumbandela wamabali amnandi. Umxholo awubalulekanga kangako.

• AL: Ufunda ntoni ngoku? Ukubhala?

JP: Ndifunda ngoku Ilizwi kunye nekrele, inoveli entle yembali ka-Vic Echegoyen. Kwaye ndibhala, okanye mandithi ukujonga, enokwenzeka inoveli yam elandelayo. Okwangoku ndinokuveza kuphela ukuba ndiza kunika i- tsiba uye phambili ngexesha. Ukutsiba okukhulu.

• AL: Ucinga ukuba imeko yokupapasha yenzelwe ababhali abaninzi ukuba bakho okanye ufuna ukupapasha?

I-JP: Umhlaba wokupapasha uhlala uyi Umbutho onamaqhinga, kunye okanye ngaphandle kwentlekele. Inezinto ezithile ezizodwa ezenza ukuba zifuneke kakhulu kwaye apho kunzima ukugqama okanye nokuhlala. Nangona kunjalo, kuyinyani oko amathuba esinika yona ngoku Internet yenza abantu abaninzi ngakumbi bakuthathe njengombhali kunye nokupapasha.

Mhlawumbi oku kukhokelele kwi- ukwanda kokhuphiswano kwaye, ngesehlo, kugqithiso kupapasho, kodwa ungenzi mpazamo: ukupapasha bekusoloko kunzima kakhulu. Okwangoku, ukuba uyakholelwa kuwe, kunokwenzeka. Mna nabanye abaninzi endisebenza nabo bubungqina.

• AL: Ngaba umzuzu wobunzima esijamelana nawo unzima kuwe okanye uya kuba nakho ukugcina into elungileyo kwiinoveli ezizayo?

I-JP: Kunzima kakhulu ukufumana into entle kwimeko enje yabaninzi kwaye, ukongeza, ukubeka indlela yethu yesiqhelo ebomini. Kwinqanaba loshishino lokupapasha sikhe sayibopha ngamatyathanga ingxaki yezoqoqosho yangaphambili neli bhubhane, ochaphazela kakhulu umjikelo wobomi weenoveli ezininzi ngenxa yokungenzeki kokunyusa okwaneleyo. Kodwa mhlawumbi yile kungenzeka ukuba uphinde uzivuselele, Ukufuna iindlela ezintsha kunye nokukhuthaza izixhobo ezinje nge-Intanethi. Ndiyathemba ukuba ubuncinci.
