Ua kūʻai ʻia ka uaki ʻala a Philip Roth: No ke aha ke kani ʻana iaʻu

I ka wā e holo ai kēia kolamu, ʻo wau paha ka mea haʻaheo nona ka lekiō uaki e noho ana ma luna o ke kahua pō ma ka lumi moe nui o Philip Roth.

Ua ʻike ʻoe iā Philip Roth, National Book Award- a me ka Pulitzer Prize-winning mea kākau o nā mele e like me "Goodbye, Columbus," "Portnoy's Complaint" a me "The Plot Against America"? Ua make ʻo ia i ka makahiki i hala, a i ka hopena pule i hala aku nei, ua kūʻai ʻia kekahi o kāna mau mea i kahi kūʻai kūʻai ʻāina e hōʻike ana i ka bidding online.

ʻO ka lekiō uaki he Proton Model 320, a ʻaʻohe mea kūikawā e pili ana i ia mea ʻē aʻe i ka noho ʻana i loko o ka lumi moe nui o Philip Roth.

Malia paha ʻo ia ka mea a Philip Roth i nānā ai i kona ala ʻana i ke aumoe i ka wā e nahu ana kekahi wahi o kona lolo i kekahi pilikia kākau. I kona nānā ʻana i nā helu i hoʻomālamalama ʻia ma ka hōʻike, ua hōʻino anei ʻo ia i kona ʻeha i kaohi iā ia mai ka hiamoe maikaʻi, a i ʻole he mea hōʻoluʻolu ke ʻike ʻoiai ʻo ia e hoʻomaha ana, e kākau ana kekahi hapa ona?

ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu ke kumu o koʻu makemake e loaʻa i kahi mea nona ʻo Philip Roth, akā i koʻu hele ʻana i ke kūʻai aku ma ka pūnaewele, ua lilo wau i mea makaʻala.

ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ua hoʻopuka mua wau i ka manual Olivetti typewriter Roth i hoʻohana mua i kāna ʻoihana. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona IBM Selectric i neʻe ai ʻo Roth ma hope he waiwai nui hoʻi no koʻu koko.

Ke nānā nei au i kahi sofa ʻili mai ka hale kākau kākau ʻo Roth āu e hoʻokele ai inā e noho manuahi ana ma ka pā. Ua ʻānai ʻia a ʻulaʻula ʻia, ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia. Aneane hiki iaʻu ke honi i ka pono ma o ka pale kamepiula a nānā naʻe au iā ia, ke noʻonoʻo nei au e hoʻokomo i kahi hāʻawi, e hoʻāʻo ana e helu i ka nui o ke kumukūʻai e hoʻouna mai iaʻu. Malia paha e hele au i kahi kaʻahele a hoʻolimalima i kahi kaʻa e hoʻihoʻi mai. E loaʻa iaʻu kahi moʻolelo mai ia mea: "ʻO wau a me Philip Roth's Moldy Couch Across America."

ʻOiai ʻo kaʻu wahi hana ponoʻī he mea maʻamau loa - kahi lumi moe kaʻawale me kahi pākaukau - makemake mau wau i ka ʻike ʻana i nā hiʻohiʻona o nā wahi kākau o nā mea kākau. Ma kahi huakaʻi puke i nā makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hoʻopaʻa au i ka manawa no Rowan Oak, ka home mua o William Faulkner ma Oxford, Mississippi. He hale hōʻikeʻike ʻo ia i kēia manawa kahi e ʻike ai ʻoe i kāna lumi kākau, i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e like me ia i ka wā e hana ana ʻo ia, nā aniani ma kahi pākaukau kokoke. Ma kahi lumi ʻē aʻe, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka outline no kāna puke "A Fable" i kahakaha pololei ʻia ma nā paia.

Inā ʻoe e kipa aku i ke Kulanui ʻo Duke, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka pākaukau kākau a Virginia Woolf, kahi hana paʻa o ka ʻoka me ka hinged luna no ka mālama ʻana a me kahi kiʻi pena ʻia o Clio, ka muse o ka mōʻaukala ma ka ʻili. ʻAʻole hāʻawi ka waiwai o Roth i kekahi mea nani loa, ma ka liʻiliʻi loa ʻaʻole i kēia kūʻai.

Manaʻo ʻia ʻo nā huaʻōlelo ka mea nui, ʻaʻole nā ​​mea e hoʻopuni ana i ka mea nāna i hana. ʻO nā lako lanai wicker o Roth (ʻaʻole nā ​​noi e like me kēia kākau ʻana) ʻaʻole ke kumu o kona akamai. Malia paha ʻaʻole koʻikoʻi nā mea ponoʻī, a ke hoʻokomo nei au iā lākou me ka manaʻo ʻaʻole pono lākou. Mālama ʻia nā pepa a me nā leka e pili ana i ka ʻoihana moʻokalaleo a Roth ma ka Hale Waihona Puke o Congress kahi e mālama ʻia ai lākou a hiki ke loaʻa me ka manaolana mau loa.

ʻO John Warner ka mea kākau o "No ke aha e hiki ʻole ai iā lākou ke kākau: pepehi i ka ʻatikala ʻelima mau paukū a me nā pono ʻē aʻe."

ʻO nā moʻolelo noʻonoʻo ʻole a pau, ka moʻolelo mua, akā ke loaʻa pū nei i kekahi mau pilikia moʻomeheu. Loaʻa iaʻu ka mea: "Heartland: He Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country on Earth" na Sarah Smarsh.

I koʻu heluhelu ʻana i kahi hoʻokuʻu hou i kūpono loa i ka manaʻo ʻana, kau wau ia ma luna o ka pou ma kaʻu kamepiula a mai ia manawa aku ke nānā nei au i ka mea heluhelu kūpono. I kēia hihia, ʻo "Rules for Visiting" ʻo Jessica Francis Kane he mea kūpono loa ia no Judy.

Mai Feberuari kēia, he pūʻulu o nā noi aʻu i kuhi hewa ai i kaʻu leka uila. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke loaʻa iā lākou a pau, akā ma ke ʻano he ʻano liʻiliʻi, hiki iaʻu ke hoʻomaopopo i ke ola. Mai Feburary, ua heluhelu ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo Carrie i nā puke hou aʻe, akā ma muli o kēia papa inoa, ke paipai nei au iā "Bad Things Happen" na Harry Dolan.
