Bukhu Lokakamiza Litsimikizira Zowona Za Ubale Zitatu

Buku lothandiza lingatilimbikitse, kutiphunzitsa, kapena kutisangalatsa. Edwidge Danticat's Chilichonse Mkati (Knopf, 2019), mndandanda wa nkhani zazifupi zisanu ndi zitatu, zonse zitatuzi zimachita bwino. Kuphatikiza apo, bukuli, lomwe lidalandira Mphotho ya National Book Critics Circle Award, likuwunikira zowona zitatu zamaganizidwe okhudzana ndi ubale wamphamvu kuposa maphunziro ambiri.

Mwala uliwonse pamsonkhanowu umafotokoza zomwe zidawunikira momwe tifunikira kuperekera chikondi kwa ena, phindu lakupatsa lomwe limaposa kulandira, komanso kupeŵa kupweteka ndi kutayika chifukwa chowonadi chofunikira chokhazikika.

Buku la Danticat silabwino kwenikweni, koma, ndiye kuti moyo suli moyo. Anthu omwe ali munkhani zake amadutsa mu ubale wawo ndi kudzipereka (mwachitsanzo, "Dosas"), amayesa kupeputsa kusakhulupirika ndi kudziimba mlandu chifukwa cha imfa ya wokondedwa ndi mwana ("Mphatso"), kapena kuwunika kupweteka kwapadera kotsegulira mtima ndikupeza kudzipusitsa kapena kuwonongeka ("Ukwati Wapadera wa Port-au-Prince"). Munkhani ina ("M'masiku Akale"), chomangira chosawoneka, cholakalaka kulumikizana kwanthabwala, mopanda chidziwitso chimapangitsa chidwi cha mayi yemwe samadziwa abambo ake. Mukuyeneranso, mzimayi yemwe kucheza ndiubwana kunali kothandiza ("Nkhani Zisanu ndi ziwiri") amamatira pachinthu chomwe chimayimira chitetezo. Mumalandira lingaliro. Nkhani zonsezi ndizovuta, zikuwonetsera zowona za ubale umodzi.

Anthu omwe ali munkhani zonsezi amalumikizana ndi Haiti, ngakhale zoikamo zimayambira ku Brooklyn kupita ku Miami kupita ku Port-au-Prince kupita pachilumba chosadziwika. Mbiri yawo idatenga maphunziro osiyanasiyana komanso magawo azachuma, kuyambira ali akhanda mpaka kufooka, amakonda maubwenzi kuyambira paubwenzi mpaka kuchita chigololo. Chikondi chimakhala mgulu laubwana, maubale m'mabanja, maubale okondana mkati ndi kunja kwaukwati, ngakhale pakati pa eni nyumba ndi wantchito wake. Ubale pakati pa madera, mibadwo, nthawi. Koma mitu itatu yamaganizidwe osakhalitsa imadutsa munkhanizo.

Tiyenera kukonda ndi kupereka. Mphamvu za mtima wamunthu wowongolera zisankho ndizosatsutsika munkhani izi. Kulakalaka kusamalira munthu wina kumalimbikitsa otenga nawo mbali kuti azichita nawo zomwe angaperekedwe, momwe wokonda wina amasiya wina kuti apeze sukulu ya ana osowa, kapena momwe mwamunayo amatengera udindo wa bambo woberekera, monga zitsanzo. Zaka makumi khumi zakufufuza zamaganizidwe zimatsimikizira kufunikira kodziphatika pamodzi ndi maubwino omwe amapezeka chifukwa chothandizana kwambiri ngati maubwenzi ali otetezeka. (Onani buku la Simpson ndi Rholes, pansipa.)

Kupereka kumaposa kulandira. Nkhani zingapo zimafotokoza momwe anthu amawonetsera chikondi kudzera

kudzipereka mosadzipereka kwa wina, monga koleji chaka choyamba yemwe amayankha pempho la bambo a mnzake yemwe amagona naye ndikupitilira malo ake omulimbikitsa kuti alimbikitse mnzake wokhala naye modzipereka kuti abwerere kusukulu, kapena mayi wokalamba yemwe amafuna kuti mwana wake wamkazi amvetsetse chisangalalo yopereka nsembe kwa mwana wakhanda. Ngakhale mayi yemwe ali ndi hotelo modzipereka amayesetsa kusamalira wantchito amene akuvutika. Zolemba zoyambirira zamaganizidwe okhudzana ndi kudzipereka zimalemba zaubwino wopatsa womwe umaposa womwe umalandila. Posachedwa, kafukufuku wowolowa manja, mutu wodziwika bwino pamaganizidwe abwino, wasonyeza kufunikira kokhoza kupatsa ena zomwe akuwona kuti ndi zofunika kwa ena. Chikondi chodzipereka, chomwe poyamba chimatchedwa "agape," chinafufuzidwa m'mabuku kuchokera ku zauzimu kupita ku prosaic, m'maphunziro amalingaliro komanso zamphamvu.

Kusapeweka komanso kupweteka kwa kutayika. Nkhani zonse mu Chilichonse Mkati , wowerenga

kukumana ndi kupezeka kosawonongeka. Miyoyo imasinthidwa kwamuyaya, kaya kudzera mu imfa yachilengedwe, ngozi, kusiya, kudwala, kapena kuphedwa. Zowawa zomwe zimadutsa pamiyala isanu ndi itatu yapaderayi zimadza chifukwa chosakhazikika, ndichisoni chosapeweka chomwe kutaya munthu amene amamukonda chikuyenera kuvutika. Komabe zolumikizira nthawi zonse zimakhala zofunikira pamtengo womwe uyenera kulipidwa mukawonongeka.

Nkhani za Danticat, zolembedwa ndi mawu amphamvu komanso "zowona" zodabwitsa, zimawunikira mtima wachikondi, kuchokera pakufunika kwathu kolimba kolimba, kufikira kuwolowa manja kwa mzimu komwe kumalimbikitsa, kufikira ku chowonadi chomaliza chaumunthu cha kulira ndipo, mwachiyembekezo, kukhazikika kwathu ndi kukula kwa nzeru zomwe timapeza tikatayika. Ndikuwalimbikitsa kuti akhale oyamba kukhala anthu abwenzi.
