Art Vs. The Artist
Rachel Sherman : Kodi mukuganiza bwanji za luso ndi wojambula? Kodi mumasiyanitsa bwanji moyo wanu wolemba kuchokera ku moyo wanu wonse (kapena kodi ndi chimodzimodzi), pamtundu weniweni, komanso m'maganizo?
Christopher Sorrentino: Nthawi yotsiriza yomwe ndikulemba ndi moyo wanga wasinthidwa kwathunthu anali masiku anga a Stephen Daedalus, zaka makumi awiri ndi zisanu zapitazo. Kuchokera nthawi imeneyo zakhala zodetsa: ntchito, ukwati, ana, kusudzulana, kutsuka mbale. Mwachidziwitso, nthawizonse ndakhala ndikumasinthasintha. Ndinalemba madzulo, ndalemba m'mawa kwambiri, ndalemba m'mipata pakati pa maudindo ena. Ndipo ndikudzipatulira ndekha kuti nthawi zina ndisakhale ndi nthawi yoti ndilembe. Mwachidziwitso, nthawi zina luso ndilopambana kuposa ena. Ndikumva, ngati kupanikizika kotheratu. Ngati ndikulemba, ndikupita kuntchito. Ngati sindingathe kugwira ntchito, ndikuwona.
Chinyengo sichingalole kuti anthu apulumukire apulumuke kumene anthu omwe mumawakonda ali.
Kusiyana pakati pa Kulemba ndi Kulemba
RS : Kodi mumagwirizanitsa bwanji kulemba ndi kusindikiza? Kodi kuyika bukhu lanu "kulowa mu dziko lapansi" kumakhala ngati njira yosiyana yolemba bukuli?
CS: Ndikuganiza kuti iwo ndi osiyana kwathunthu.
Kulemba ndi ntchito yodzipatula, yofufuza, ndi yothandiza. Zimatengera chipiriro chochuluka ndi chikhulupiliro kuti mapepala ovuta kwambiri adzadutsa. Ndimakonda kusunga ntchito zanga kwa ine ndekha kaya ziri bwino kapena zikuyenda bwino. Gawo la ubongo wanga lomwe limalenga limafuna izi. Kwa ine, mwina, sikumaphatikizapo njira iliyonse kuti ifike kapena kuyitanira kwa omvera. Kotero, pofalitsa, mumachoka mwachindunji kuchokera ku bubuluwu kupita kuntchito yothandizira, kudalira kuwerengera mwakachetechete pa momwe mungapangire bukuli ndi kulipereka m'manja mwa anthu ambiri omwe amawakonda. Ndipo inu, wolemba, muyenera kutuluka ndi bukhuli. Muyenera kufotokozera zinthu kwa omvera kapena atolankhani omwe mwangoganizira za momwe mungawalembere. Nkhope yanu ikuwonekera m'nyuzipepala. Anthu amanena zinthu zokhudzana ndi ntchito yanu zomwe zimapangitsa kuti mutu wanu ufike pansi kapena kukupangitsani kuti mulowe mu dzenje. Ndipo, ndithudi, pamene zonsezi zikuchitika, bukhuli liri kumbuyo kwina-mwina mwinamwake kuchokera kumakonzedwe ena kupita ku zitsimikizo, chinthu ichi chimene iwe wakhala nacho kwa zaka ziwiri, zitatu, zisanu ndi chimodzi chabe chimene iwe unayamba mwalemba, chinachake chomwe iwe Ndasunthira kuchokapo.
RS : Kodi kusindikiza kwa "Othawa" kwakhala kotani poyerekezera ndi mabuku ena (mpaka pano)?
CS: Chabwino, kulingalira koyenera kwambiri ndi TRANCE, yomwe inatuluka zaka khumi zapitazo. Kalelo, malo osungirako zinthu pa Intaneti anali atangoyamba kumene. Kwa mbali zambiri, zinali zodikira kuyembekezera ndemanga zotsindikizidwa ndi makina ena kuti atuluke. Nthawi zina ndinkangobwerera kwa ine mu envelopu ya FSG. Zina mwa machitidwe oyambirira omwe AFUGITIVES akhala akupeza sizinalipo panthawiyo - kupanga "Zambiri Zomwe Ankayembekezera" mndandanda wa malo monga Miliyoni ndi Flavorwire, mwachitsanzo. Ndicho gawo chabwino. Gawo loipa, ndikuganiza, ndilo kuti manyuzipepala ambiri ndi magazini ambiri aphatikizira kapena atangowonongetsa mabuku awo m'mabuku. Komanso, ndinalibe webusaitiyi panthawiyo ndipo panalibenso njira zina zomwe anthu angagwiritsire ntchito popititsa patsogolo bukuli, osati kuti ndine wachinyamata.
Apo ayi, chidwi chikuwoneka chikubwera pang'ono. Mauthenga ndi mapulagi, kuphatikizapo ndemanga zowindikiza, zomwe sindikuganiza kuti ndalandira nthawi yotsiriza isanayambe kufalitsidwa (February 9), kupatulapo malonda, monga Bukhu la Owerenga ndi Mlungu Womaliza. Ndipo ndapenda nthawi ino mu Mabuku a Times, omwe ndi apamwamba kwambiri. Ndinachita mantha, koma ndikuzitenga kuti ndizitanthauza kuti ndafika. Kaya izo, kapena akuyesera kuti andiphe ine ndisanafike pakhomo.
Malangizo kwa Olemba Achinyamata
RS : Ndi malangizo ati omwe mungapatse olemba achinyamata?
CS: Zosangalatsa, apa ndi pamene zochitika zojambula ndi zochitika zomwe zimasindikizidwa zimakhala zofanana. Olemba aang'ono ayenera kupititsa patsogolo kuwerenga, koposa zonse. Ayenera kuwerenga molakwika pamene zikugwirizana ndi iwo, ayenera kuwerenga moyenera pamene zikugwirizana. Ayenera kuwerenga zomwe zimatchedwa zenizeni zongopeka komanso zolemba zabodza. Ndipo pamene akulemba ayenera kuyesa kugwiritsa ntchito zomwe amakonda mu zomwe akuwerenga kuntchito yawo. Iwo sayenera kudandaula za kupeza wothandizira kapena ngati zomwe akuchitazo zikukondweretsa kumsika wamakono. Ayenera kupita kunja kwa msika ndikukulitsa zomwe zili zothandiza komanso zokongola kwa iwo. Ndipo amafunika kukhala oleza mtima. Ndili ndi lingaliro lakuti achinyamata ambiri, omwe amatha kufalitsa nthawi yomweyo pamapulatifomu osiyanasiyana, ntchito imatha mwamsanga atangokankhira "positi" ndipo yankho likuyamba. Ndipo sindikuganiza kuti ndizofunikira. Mwinamwake ichi ndi chiyambi choyang'ana kuchokera kwa membala wosiyana, koma sindikuganiza kuti kulembedwa ndikumapangitsa kuti mutenge zomwe mukuchita pa tsiku lina. Kulemba ndi masewera otalika, ophatikizapo kukonza, kusakanikirana, ndi kuchuluka kwa mphamvu. Sakusowa mayankho a anthu ena kuti akwaniritsidwe. Kugwira ntchito payekha ndi kusatsimikizika ndi mtundu wina wa chilango, ndipo olemba ayenera kulima.
