I-RWA.Ababhali bezothando baseMelika IComic Con ifikile kule veki eSan Diego, ine-mega-fan-fare kunye nabazimeleyo benxibe njengoMfazi oMangalisayo, uDaenerys Targaryen kunye ne-Sailor Moon- kunye ne-blitz yeendaba ehla edolophini lolwandle njengee-seagulls kwi-tortilla chip. Kuza emva kwendibano eyahluke ngokupheleleyo, i-36 engakhathalelwangathAbabhali boNyaka baseMelika beNkomfa yoMbutho eSan Diego Marriott Marquis naseMarina.
Kuyahlekisa, kuba i-RWA imele ishishini elinesixa esixabisa i-1.3 yezigidigidi kushishino-kwaye iyi-oasis ye-estrogen.
Akukho ngxaki yabasetyhini kwi-RWA -imabhinqa kuphela kuyo yonke indawo (kwaye ambalwa amadoda asasazeke ikakhulu ajongeka njengezimvu). Ndizimase inkomfa kwimpelaveki ephelileyo emva kokuba umpapashi wam, uLake Union, ecebise ukuba inoveli yam yembali, Umfazi wokugqibela emi , Ndenze isibheno se-crossover. Ngaphandle kokuba ndathi ndema phambi kokuzibophelela - ndiginya ukuzenzisa kwam malunga nokubizwa ngokuba 'ngumbhali wenoveli kwezothando' - ndabhabhela ndabuyela kwidolophu yam. Ukufika kwam apho, ndanxiba iimbadada zam ezisengqiqweni ndaza ndazifumana ezi super-sheroes zingafakwanga zinxibe ii-wedge ezimnandi kunye neebhutsi zeenkomo, ii-caftans kunye ne-sheaths. Bangamafanasini kwaye bathe tye, abancinci nabadala, iAsia kunye neCaucasian kunye ne-Afrika yaseMelika, iinwele ezingwevu kunye nokuhlekisa eTexas kwahlanjwa iblondes.
Aba babhali (nabahleli kunye neearhente) banxiba iibheji zethegi-amagama ezihonjiswe nge-flare: i-75 okanye i-25 okanye i-10 ngenani leencwadi ezibhaliweyo; amanani egolide abo baphumelele amabhaso anqwenelekayo; Iiribhoni ezinemibala ebonisa uhlobo lwazo, nokuba zezembali okanye ezangoku okanye ezomeleleyo okanye ezithandekayo. Abanye bathanjisiwe - igxalaba linikezelwe kwi-octopus, ingalo kwindawo yokuthanda uncwadi. I-tattoo yesibindi yoMlilo eqalekisayo yinto yokuqala endiyibonayo malunga ne-curvy, eyomileyo eneenwele ehlala ecaleni kwam kwisitulo esitofotofo.
Owu, utsho u-Isobel Carr, umbhali opapashiweyo weentsomi zembali yaseGeorgia Avuthwe ngoBumnandi -Walwa isihloko Uyenza njani iNkundla kwiNkundla . Ndiyifumene loo tat kuMntu oVuthayo kwiminyaka eyadlulayo. Ndenze umntu ovuthayo iminyaka elishumi elinesithandathu okanye elishumi elinesixhenxe. Konke kuluhlobo lokufiphala.
Ngomsesane wempumlo kaCarr - kunye nesidanga sefilosofi esivela kwikholeji yabasetyhini encinci yabucala yaseVirginia, iYunivesithi yaseHollins, kunye neMFA kwimibongo evela kwiYunivesithi yaseSan Francisco State, ayisiyiyo kanye le bendiyilindele. Oko kumenza aqheleke ngokupheleleyo kubafazi kwinkomfa: Okungalindelekanga.
Andizibhali ii-romps ezimnandi, u-Carr uyaqhubeka, ndonwabile ukundingenisa. Abanye abantu abayi konwaba kodwa ayisiyiyo le nto ndiyithengisayo. Inzalelwane yaseBerkeley ikhule njengesiqhelo kumButho woBugcisa beAnachronism, eyaqala njengepati yasemva kwendlu ngo-1968 eyayizinyanzelwa nguyise. Waqala ukuzikhohlisa ngembali yamabali ngo-1999 okanye ngo-2000, kwaye wajonga iinoveli zakhe njengaleyo yathengiswa kakhulu nguPhilippa Gregory ( Enye intombazana yaseBoleyn ) nangona ukufundwa kwe-crossover ngokuqinisekileyo kukuthandana.
Inkcazo yohlobo, endiyifumanisayo, libali lothando eliphambili apho isibini esizinikeleyo-kwaye oko kunokubandakanya indoda kunye nendoda, okanye umfazi nebhinqa-bafumana isiphelo esonwabisayo kwisiphelo sencwadi ngekamva elibonakalayo kunye. Le ayisiyiyo Amathunzi angamashumi amahlanu nantlanu kagreyi : UCarr ucacisa ukuba ayizizo zonke iintsomi ezithandwayo zothando. Uxelela i Umjongi , Ndi squidged ngaphandle ukuba iqhawe lakho livalele iqhawekazi lakho egumbini. Ukuba ndiva ukuba iqhawe lifanele ukuba lisentolongweni ayindim lowo.
IiCowboys, hayi ukugwetywa, ziphakathi kwezifundo zikaCarolyn Brown azithandayo. Inqwaba emenyezelayo yesilivere engwevu entlokweni yakhe ukuze ifane nemilinganiselo yakhe yesilivere, kunye nembonakalo kaninakhulu ophilayo ongumama kaDisney malunga nokuntywila ngaphezulu kwegumbi elandela ingcebiso yakhe yobulumko kuCinderella, umbhali wenza umtsalane womhakhulu. U-Texan oneminyaka engama-67, ngoku osuka e-Oklahoma, nangona engenakuthobeka lula, uyi-NYT Bestseller ( Igumbi lamaLadies , Umtshato omnye oshushu weCowboy ) ngencwadi enencwadi ezingama-75 kwibheji yakhe ukuphawula impumelelo yakhe kwezothando, ezembali kunye nezothando lwaseNtshona.
UBrown walufezekisa njani olo luhlu lukhulu? Uyitya njani indlovu? Ubuza, alume kube kanye.
UBrown ubhala ubuncinci amagama angamawaka amahlanu ngosuku. Iwaka ngaphambi kokuba ahlale phantsi esidlweni sakusasa nomyeni wakhe (kunye notata wabantwana bakhe abathathu abadala); amawaka amabini phakathi kwesidlo sakusasa kunye nesidlo sasemini kunye; kwaye ke amanye amawaka amabini emva kwemini. Avuthiwe ngengcebiso, wabelana ngelinye icebo: umbulali isivakalisi sokuqala, njengale asicengceleza ngentliziyo: Ukuba ndithe ndaphinda ndanyakazisa isandla, umakazi omkhulu uGert wayeza kuhlala ngqo nkqo kwibhokisi emhlophe epinki aze andinike ilitha elibi lendlela wayedla ngokwenza xa ndimncinci ndingakwazi kuhlala ecaweni. Yiya gogo, hamba.
Elinye iqhawe kwindalo yothando nguBeverly Jenkins, otyholwa ngokubhala imbali yokuqala yezothando yase-Afrika, 1994 Ingoma yasebusuku . Inzalelwane yaseDetroit ekwiminyaka yama-60s uxelelwe Inkqubo ye- Umbutho weSan Diego-Tribune , Sinikwe ithuba elifutshane elifutshane kuba ezi ncwadi zibhalwe ngabafazi, kwaye azininzi izinto ezenziwayo ngabafazi ezixabisekileyo. Kwaye yongezwa: Sizise i-1.3 yezigidigidi zeedola etafileni kulo nyaka uphelileyo: i-1.3 yezigidigidi zeedola ithi kakhulu.
UJenkins, inkwenkwezi ephumayo kaLaurie Kahn's documentary malunga nohlobo, Uthando phakathi kweeCover ( ziyafumaneka ngokufunwayo ukusukela nge-1 kaJulayi I-2) iqala intetho yakhe ephambili, iyichaza ngendlela enomdla ngayo: Eli ligumbi le-esile elikhulu, umfazi omncinci osemva kwesikhulumi se-plexiglass uthi. Hayi andizukuziphatha, akunjalo? … Undimema ukuba ndithethe nesizwe sakowethu… .ukuza apha eluthandweni kuyandihlaziya, kuyandiqinisa kwaye kuyazalisa intliziyo yam. UJenkins uyakhwaza Umbulali waseAfrika waseMaria uMaria W. Stewart , owasetyhini wokuqala kulo naluphi na uhlanga ukuthetha esidlangalaleni phambi kwabaphulaphuli abaziphethe kakubi, okuthetha ukuba abaphulaphuli bamadoda kwaye abafazi. UJenkins uyaqhubeka: Abasetyhini babengavunyelwa ukuba bathethe ngesini esixubeneyo. Naliphi na ixesha xa ungumfazi kwaye ufumana imike ungabulela uMaria W. Stewart.
Kwaye ndingumguquki. Ndiyaluva uthando egumbini. Uphefumlelwe, ndikulungele ukuthi igama lam ndinguThelma Adams kwaye ndingumbhali wezothando. Kwaye ndihleka nesihlwele njengoko uJenkins esitsho, Xa abantu bekubuza ukuba uzenzile na zonke izinto ezingamampunge ozibhalayo ezincwadini zakho zijonge ngqo emehlweni uthi, 'isihogo, ewe.'
