Kule veki u-Edward Klein, ebhengeza iziqinisekiso zakhe njengomhleli wangaphambili we-The New York Times Magazine kunye nowayesakuba ngumhleli ongumlawuli ophetheyo kwiNewsweek, waba lilungu lehlabathi elamenza-kwixesha apho abenzi beendaba abanzima ukufumana.
Kwakukho iingcebiso kuphela kubusuku bokukhutshwa kwencwadi ngohlobo lwamava okufunda umntu anokuwalindela kwiNyaniso malunga noHillary, ecwangciselwe ukubetha iivenkile ezithengisa iincwadi ngoJuni 21. Uthotho olulawulwa ngononophelo lokuvuza malunga nencwadi ezayo kaMnu Klein malunga noHillary Clinton zenzelwe ukuba ziyinyuse.
Kodwa kwa ela phulo ladibana nengqumbo kwiintatheli ezikude kakhulu neziqu zika-Mnumzana Klein. Ngomhla we-10 kuJuni, abafundi bakwazile ukufumana isiphoso kwingxelo kaMnu Klein exeliweyo yokuxhaphaza abathandana nabasetyhini abasesikolweni sika-Clinton kwindawo engeyiyo eyentlebendwane kuneNew York Post's Page Six.
Umsindo ngamanye amabango ekuthiwa enziwe kwincwadi-kwaye aqhubekeka kwiNgxelo yeDrudge-ebenengxaki kakhulu kubahleli kuzo kanye iimpapasho apho uMnu Klein ebesebenze ixesha elide khona kangangokuba bakhethe ukungaphinde bawashicilele amabango.
Umsebenzi wokubhala incwadi kaMnu. Klein ongaziwayo ubonakaliswe ngabathengisi abathengisa kakhulu kuJacqueline Onassis kunye nosapho lakwaKennedy. (Ukungena kwakhe ngo-2003, Isiqalekiso sikaKennedy, senza iNew York Times uluhlu oluthengisa kakhulu, njengokuba iWashington Post kaPeter Carlson wayichitha njengesiqhelo.)
Nangona kunjalo ukuhleba iincwadi-kwaye lithetha ntoni eli binzana? Ukuba ezi ncwadi zizele yingxelo engaziwayo kunye namabango amabi kwaye babonisa umdla ongathandekiyo kubomi babalinganiswa babo? -Mnu. U-Klein ngokuqinisekileyo uzibeke embindini wesi siqhwithi somlilo ngoku ngendlela ahlangana ngayo nezifundo zakhe ngendlela enza ngayo ingxelo. Ngamagama, ngumbuzo wokungcamla.
Ukunika ingxelo ngumba omnye, kodwa ngaphambi koko, kutheni unika ingxelo malunga noku? Ngubani onika ikaka? utshilo umbhali weendaba wase New Yorker u-Ken Auletta, ebhekisa kwiincwadi zika Mnu. Klein. Ngubani okhathalelayo okokuqala ukuba uJackie walala naye nabani? Imibuzo [awayeyibuza] yayizinto zokuqala ezandibetha ngempumlo. Indlela ebebaphendula ngayo iza emva koko. Kutheni le nto intatheli enomdla isenza umsebenzi ongathandekiyo?
Ezopolitiko?
Abanye ngokungathandabuzekiyo baya kuthi yinto nje yezopolitiko.
Isiqalekiso sikaKennedy sasinabaxhasi baso: Ukubhala kuVavanyo lukaZwelonke, uWilliam F. Buckley Jr. wakubiza ngokuba kukufunda. Kodwa Abapapashi beVeki babhekisa kuMnumzana Klein's Farewell, uJackie ethembele kwimithombo engathandabuzekiyo kwaye wayibiza ngokungafanelekanga ngethoni.
Umshicileli kaMnu. Klein wencwadi kaHillary Clinton ngumbhalo oselugcinweni weSentinel ePenguin Putnam, apho abelana khona ngendawo yekhathalogu nesimemo sikaJim Kuhn sexesha lakhe nolawulo lukaReagan; UMona Charen's Do-Gooders: Indlela abaLibali abahlukumeza ngayo abo bathi baNceda (kunye nathi sonke); kunye noRonald Kessler's A Matter of Character: Ngaphakathi kweNdlu ye-White House kaGeorge W. Bush.
Iincwadi zikaMnu. Klein-izihloko ezine zikaKennedy kwaye oku kutsha nje-konke kubonakala kunento efanayo yokuzibophelela kunye nabalawuli abalawulayo bezopolitiko zaseMelika ezikhululekileyo.
(Umsebenzi kaMnu. Klein wokubhala incwadi ngobomi bukaBarbara noGeorge Herbert Walker Bush bawela phantsi. Ngokwenqaku elikwiNew York Law Journal ukususela ngo-1993, uSuku eNdlu eNtshonalanga noGeorge noBarbara Bush bahlangabezana neengxaki xa UWhite House usirhoxisile isithembiso sokusebenzisana nguGeorge noBarbara Bush. Ijaji yeNkundla ePhakamileyo yase-State yayalela uMnu. Klein ukuba abuyisele imali eyi-166,666 yeedola awayeyifumene kumpapashi wakhe, u-Little, Brown.)
Intsebenziswano, kubonakala ngathi ikhuselekile ukutsho, yayingeyiyo imvumelwano yesivumelwano sika Mnu. Klein sokubhala ngoNkosk.
UPhilippe Reines, osisithethi sikaNkosikazi Clinton, uthe: Asiphawuli ngemisebenzi yeentsomi, singasathethi ke ngencwadi ezele zizinto ezicacileyo nezikhohlakeleyo ezenziwe ngumntu obhala inkunkuma ngemali.
Umnumzana Klein wenqabile ukuthetha noMbukeli ecaleni kokuphendula-ngokungangqalanga-umbuzo wezizathu zakhe zopolitiko. Nangona ndingumntu obhalisiweyo ozimeleyo kuluhlu lwabavoti, kunqabile ukuba ndivote kuba, njenge ntatheli, ndifuna ukugcina ukuzimela kwam njengeqela kunye nokukholisa kwezopolitiko, watsho kwingxelo nge-imeyile ngumshicileli wakhe.
Umsonto
Kodwa ubomi bobungcali bukaMnu Klein bungaphantsi kwesifundo sasekhohlo nasekunene kunamahla ndinyuka, ngokwahluka kweenkcubeko eziphezulu nezisezantsi zemithombo yeendaba zaseMelika. Ukusuka kwimastheads yamaziko aphezulu kubuntatheli baseMelika, uMnu. Klein uye weza kwicandelo lokubhalwa kwencwadi ngetheyibhile ngokwesiko labasebukhosini baseNgilani abathukayo.
Ewe, kwingxelo ekhutshwe ngumpapashi wakhe wangoku, isalathiso senziwa kancinci ukuzithemba kwabahleli bakhe kwingxelo yakhe okanye nakwincwadi ekhoyo, kodwa kwirekhodi lakhe langaphambili.
Simi kwi-100% ngasemva kokuthembeka kuka-Ed Klein, yatsho ingxelo ebuza imibuzo. Uyintatheli ehlonitshwa ngokubanzi kwaye ebekhe wasebenzela iimpapasho ezinje ngeNewsweek, The New York Times, kunye neVanity Fair.
Ngelixa wayefunda kwiYunivesithi yaseColumbia, uMnu. Klein wasebenza njengomfana oyikopi kwiDaily News. Emva kokuya kwisikolo sobuntatheli e-Columbia, wachitha ixesha eJapan njengombhaleli welinye ilizwe we-U.P.I. (apho wazi khona owayesakuba ngumhleli ophetheyo we-New York Times u-Abe Rosenthal, owayesebenzela i-The Times phaya) kwaye waya kwi-Newsweek, apho waba ngumncedisi kulawulo lomhleli. Ngo-1977, uMnu Rosenthal wazisa uMnu. Klein ukuze ahlele iTimes Magazine, apho wayehlala khona de kwangunyaka ka-1987. Kwakucingelwa ukuba eli phephancwadi liphucukile ngeendlela ezininzi ngexesha likaMnu Klein, lafumana ubomi, lamkela ababhali abatsha laze lafumana Umvuzo ka-Pulitzer-kodwa wayengumntu opolisayo, ngokutsho kwabasebenzi abaliqela ababesebenza apho ngelo xesha.
Ndingayichaza, ngokunyaniseka, njengelitye elincinci, utshilo uJames Greenfield, owayengumncedisi kumlawuli ophetheyo kwiThe Times ngexesha likaMnu Klein kwaye ngubani owamlandela eMagazini. Ndicinga ukuba wayenengxaki nabasebenzi bakhe. Ndicinga ukuba bekukho ukungqubana kobuntu. Xa ebuzwa ukuba ingaba isimilo sobuntatheli sika Mnu Klein siqwalaselwe kwiThe Times, uMnu Greenfield wathi: The Times ngumbutho omkhulu. Wajongwa. Wayengaphelele yedwa yedwa kunye neMagazini. Kwaye ndicinga ukuba babemjongile.
Ndiyalazi igama likaEd, utshilo uAlex Ward, owayengumhleli kwiTimes Magazine ngezo ntsuku ngoku ongumhleli wephephandaba wokuphuhlisa iincwadi. Ndiyazi ukuba uEd ngumfana onempikiswano. Andizukuphika ukuba bekukho ukungavisisani.
Uxinzelelo, ngokuka Mnu.Ward, Mnu.Greenfield kunye nabanye abasebenzi, bebegxile kwinxalenye yokuqonda ukuba uMnu Klein wayezama ukuzama ukuphembelela i-engile yamabali ngokunyanzela ababhali ukuba benze izigqibo ababengaziva bekhululekile ngazo, kwaye isiphumo yayiyimagazini-y ubuntununtunu eyanyanzeliswa kupapasho lweendaba.
Ndiyazi ukuba bekukho izikhalazo ezivela kubabhali abaninzi, ebezingalunganga, ukuba angathi gqi ebalini ngomzuzu wokugqibela kwaye afune utshintsho olukhulu kuwo ngesizathu esithile okanye esinye, utshilo uMnu. Oko kubangele ukothuka okuninzi.
Umnumzana Klein waqondwa njengesilwanyana sasekhaya somhleli wangoko u-Abe Rosenthal, nothathe inyathelo elingathandekiyo lokumngenisa kwiMagazini njengomphambukeli kwiNewsweek. Emva koko, ngokutsho kwabasebenzi, u-Rosenthal wamphatha kakubi u-Klein, emgxeka ezintlanganisweni kwaye exelela oogxa bakhe, ndiyathanda ukungcungcuthekisa loo ndoda, ngokutsho komhleli wangaphambili we Times owayekhona ngeloxesha.
Ndicinga ukuba wayebonwa njengobuthathaka, kwaye ongenazigqibo, kwaye eneengxaki nabaphathi, utshilo owayesakuba ngumhleli we-Times kaMnu Klein.
Ngo-1987, emva kokuba uMax Frankel ethathe indawo kaMnu Rosenthal njengomhleli ophetheyo weThe Times, ulawulo lukaMnu Klein kwiMagazini lwaphela-kwaye kungengokhetho, ngokutsho kwabasebenzi abaliqela ababekhona ngelo xesha.
Kungekudala emva koko, uMnu. Klein wayetshatele kumfazi wakhe wesithathu, u-Dolores Barrett, umcebisi kwezonxibelelwano noluntu, kwikhaya lomlingisi uKitty Carlisle Hart eManhattan. Emva kwexesha, uMnu. Klein waqala ukubhala ikholamu yokuhleba engaziwayo kwimagazini yeParade, ebizwa ngokuba yiWalter Scott's Personality Parade, ngomvuzo ekuthiwa wawumalunga ne- $ 300,000 ngelo xesha. Waba ngumhleli onegalelo eVanity Fair ngo-1989.
Zaqala ke iincwadi. Umnumzana Klein wayebhale iinoveli ngelaxesha wayese The Times, kodwa incwadi yakhe yokuqala engeyiyo eyokwenyani yayenzelwe ukuba ibe ngumlo ka George noBarbara Bush.
Ngo-1996, Bonke abantu: Ibali lothando likaJack noJackie Kennedy lapapashwa. Ngo-1999 kwafika uJackie nje: Iminyaka yakhe yabucala, kwaza kwalandela uKennedys ngo-2003: Isiqalekiso sikaKennedy, esasikhuthaza ngokungathandabuzekiyo malunga nelifa likaJohn-John noCarolyn Bessette, kunye noFarewell, uJackie ka-2004, ukujikeleza iCamelot yakhe. ukutyeba.
Nangona iincwadi zazithengisa kakhulu, uphononongo kumajelo eendaba aphezulu kwakunzima kuMnu Klein. Kwaye umkhondo wobomi bakhe ujongeka njengelothe yokulinganisa nakubakhuseli abazama ukuyicacisa.
Musa ukumbamba u-Ed ukuba uhambe kule ndlela, watsho uJames Atlas, umbhali we-My Life in the Middle Ages, owathi waziva enombulelo kakhulu kuMnu Klein ngokumngenisa esibayeni kwi-Times Magazine. Wayehlawulwe kakhulu, kwaye andazi ukuba wayenokukhetha phi okanye nokuba wayenokuphinda afumane umsebenzi kwiveki yeendaba.
Kuya kufuneka ngandlela thile aluphose ubizo lwakhe lwangaphambili, u-Atlas uqhubeke. Xa uphakame kakhulu, uza kuya phi? Kuya kusiba nzima kakhulu phezulu, kuba akukho misebenzi mininzi kangako.
