Emva kwamashumi eminyaka yokumakisha ikhalenda yefilimu ngokukhutshwa konyaka, UWoody Allen utshintsha ukusuka kwesikrini ukuya kwiphepha y uzibonakalisa okokuqala njengombhali weencwadiUkuqala kwakhe ukubhala ngobude obupheleleyo kuza njengoko umsebenzi wakhe emva kwekhamera uye wehla, kodwa ilizwi lakhe lokudala lihlala liguquguquka ngokupheleleyo.
Phantsi kwesihloko esithi What's Up with Baum?, umsebenzi upapashwa ngesiNgesi yiPost Hill Press kunye naseSpain ngo uMdibaniso wokuPapasha, iguqulelwe nguManuel de la Fuente. U-Allen, owayesele epapashe izikripthi, amabali, imidlalo, izincoko kunye neememori zakhe ze-Apropos of Nothing, wenza umtsi ukuya kwinoveli ngethoni eyaziwa kakhulu kubalandeli bakhe.
Iploti kunye nomlinganiswa: Asher Baum phantsi kwemakroskopu
I-protagonist, uAsher Baum, ngumbhali oneminyaka ephakathi waseNew York ilwa nokuxhalaba, i-hypochondria kunye nokungakhuselekanga Ngelixa ezama ukungena kwiintsomi nakwithiyetha, indlu yakhe yopapasho edumileyo imvalela iingcango zayo, kwaye ubomi bakhe bothando bujongene nesiphithiphithi kumtshato wakhe wesithathu.
U-Baum uqala ukuthetha naye kwiingxoxo zangaphakathi ezisebenza njenge i-catharsis ehlekisayo kunye neyokuvumaKwangaxeshanye, ukurhanelwa kumbamba: woyika ukuba umninawa wakhe omncinci, ongenasiphako kwaye uphumelele, usondele kakhulu kumfazi wakhe, uConnie, kwaye unexhala malunga nobudlelwane bakhe obusondeleyo nonyana wakhe, uThane, umbhali omncinci, osakhulayo.
Inoveli ayikuthinteli ukuhlekisa ngokwasemzimbeni okanye ukungaqondi kakuhle: ukusuka kwiimeko ezingenangqondo zasekhaya ukuya kwimpazamo yomda wokuhlekisa, UAllen usebenzisa umahluko phakathi kwesixeko kunye nelizwe ukugxininisa iziporho zomlingiswa wakhe: UManhattan umnika ingxolo kunye nendawo yokusabela, indlu yelizwe ibuyisela ukuthula okuthe cwaka.
Isiqendu esinentatheli encomekayo sibangela iingxaki kuBaum, osoyikiswa yimeko yokurhoxiswa. Kongezwa kule mfihlelo yoncwadi ethi, ukuba yenziwe esidlangalaleni, inokutshabalalisa imekobume yentsapho yakho: Ukubengezela kokuphumelela konyana wakhe womtshato wesibini akucacanga njengoko kubonakala.
Uloyiko lokufa, ukungabi nantsingiselo, umona, ukufuna ukwaziwa—ukwenza umfanekiso kwisitshixo sokuqhula okukhoyo. IBaum ligorha elichasayo lika-Allen.: i-neurotic, iqaqambile ngamaxesha, phantse isoloko ididekile.
Imixholo, ithoni kunye nomkhondo wendalo ka-Allen
Unjani uBaum? idibanisa umfundi kunye i-motifs ephindaphindiweyo yombhali: i-irony, i-jazz, i-Manhattan, uthando lwe-autumnal kunye nombono othandabuzayo wempumelelo. Ukuzincokolela komlinganiswa kusikhumbuza izithethe zoncwadi ezifana neka-Unamuno kunye nokudlala kwakhe ngesazela.
I-satire ifikelela kwi-ecosystem yokupapasha: abahleli abacela ukwenza iswikethi kwintengiso, abagxeki abenza i-pontificate, Ababhali abathengisa kakhulu bajike baba ziicaricatures kunye nombhali wemisebenzi yezandla ezama ukuphila ngobukrelekrele. Incwadi inqwala kweyakhe icinema, kwaye ayimangalisi into yokuba abanye babone apha umbhalo omde onokuthi usebenze ngelizwi.
Imvelaphi yembali kunye nenkcubeko ivela kwiimbekiselo kumagama amakhulu kunye neziqephu zenkulungwane yama-20, kunye nokubonakaliswa kwi-totalitarianism kunye nokungabi nangqiqo. Obu bukho, kude ne-pedantry, bubonakala njenge umkhondo wokufunda nencoko womlinganiswa ngokwakhe.
- Iireferensi zoncwadi kunye nomculo: Dostoyevsky, Kafka, Chekhov, Billie Holiday, Auden, Burns kunye noLorenz Hart.
- Iisetingi zeFetish: I-Strand, iWashington Square, iindawo zokutyela ezinemifanekiso, kunye neendawo zokuhlala ezine-neurotic.
- Izixhobo ezisesikweni: iingxoxo zobuqu, uburharha owomileyo, I-parody ye-narcissism yasezidolophini.
Phakathi kweepaseji ezinemibala emininzi, izikhalazo zedermatological, ukuhlaselwa kwe-panic kunye ne-parade ethile yasemaphandleni; I-comedy ebonakalayo ihamba kunye nokuthandabuza kwefilosofi, ingxubevange yesiginitsha ethi apha ijonge kwintlekisa yehlabathi loncwadi.
Ulwamkelo olubalulekileyo kunye neenkcukacha zohlelo
ESpeyin, upapasho luphethe uMdibaniso wokuPapasha, ngelixa inguqulelo yesiNgesi yoqobo ipapashwa yiPost Hill Press. Inguqulelo yeSpanish yenziwe nguManuel de la Fuente, kwaye ukukhululwa kuye kwabangela ukutolika okungqubanayo kumacala omabini eAtlantiki.
Umgxeki kunye nonjingalwazi u-Andrés Amorós ubeke le ncwadi njengomsebenzi ka-Allen kakhulu: efundekayo, ekrelekrele, ehlekisayo, kodwa mncinci ngokwemigaqo yoncwadiUkuxilongwa kwakhe kushwankathela imvakalelo ebanzi: kukho intlantsi kunye nesingqisho, nangona yonke into inokuziva iphindaphindwa de kuvele ingxaki ebalulekileyo yokuziphatha.
Olunye uphononongo lwamazwe ngamazwe luqaqambisa ukuphononongwa kwenkcubeko yaseNew York, iziqhulo zangaphakathi, kunye noluvo oluthile lokuzifanisa. Ezinye izigxeko nazo ziye zaba njalo ukuhlela okuncinci kuyakhubeka kuguqulelo lwentsusa, ngaphandle kokonakalisa iprofayile yokufunda ukukhanya abaninzi bafuna kumbhali.
Inoveli ayiphuncuki kumxholo ojikeleze umdali wayo: ingxoxo yoluntu malunga nomzobo wakhe isekhona, kwaye le ncwadi ibandakanya ukuzinikela kuye. Kungekudala-Yi Previn. Lilonke, Yintoni ingxaki ngeBaum? ime ngeenyawo zayo, incokola nomfundi ngomdlalo ohlekisayo kunye nokubhideka okubalulekileyo.
Ngolu hlaselo lokuqala kwinoveli, u-Allen wongeza isahluko esahlukileyo kubhalografi yakhe: intlekisa yasedolophini ekhawulezayo malunga nempumelelo, ityala kunye nesidingo sokuviwa, esixoxisana ne-cinema yakhe ngaphandle kokuxhomekeka kuyo.
