Ngenjikalanga yakutshanje, umnxeba wakhala kwindlu yedolophu yaseOriana Fallaci eManhattan. Umbhali omncinci, onamehlo anombala oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka oneminyaka engama-72 ubeke phantsi umdiza wakhe, wayichola.
Owu, nguwe! uthe. Uqinisekisile lo ebefowuna ukuba uphilile, emva koko wabulela wabeka umnxeba.
Ubiza ukujonga ukuba ndiyaphila, utshilo, ukubona ukuba ndifuna into.
Lo mfowunelwa lipolisa, ebesoloko ejonge kuNkosazana Fallaci okoko kwapapashwa incwadi yakhe yamva nje, iThe Rage and the Pride, ayibhale eNew York kwiveki ezilandela umhla kaSeptemba 11. Incwadi-inomdla Isimangalo atyhola ngaso iNtshona ngokuba imfama kwisoyikiso sokwenyani samaSilamsi-sabangela ihlazo xa yayipapashwa eYurophu kulo nyaka uphelileyo, kodwa yaphakamisa nje isikhalazo e-US Kwilizwe lakhe lokuzalwa e-Italiya, incwadi ithengisile ngaphezulu Iikopi ezi-1 kunye ne-500,000 kwi-Yurophu iphela. E-US, ithengise iikopi ezingama-40,000 ukusukela ngo-Okthobha. Ukuthula okwenziwa ngabantu baseMelika ekubuliseni le ncwadi kuyamangalisa: Ngabantu baseMelika abanobungqina obuninzi, edolophini yaseNew York, yengozi eyabhalwa nguNks. Fallaci kwincwadi yakhe enamaphepha ali-187.
Kwi-The Rage and the Pride, UNkosazana Fallaci uthelekisa inkolo yamaSilamsi nentaba ethi kwiminyaka eliwaka elinamakhulu amane engakhange ishukume, ingavuki enzonzobileni yobumfama bayo, ingazivulanga iingcango zayo zoloyiso lwempucuko, zange wayefuna ukwazi ngenkululeko nentando yesininzi kunye nenkqubela phambili. Ngamafutshane, ayitshintshanga. Uxwayisa ukuba ukusuka eAfghanistan ukuya eSudan, ukusuka ePalestine ukuya ePakistan, ukusuka eMalaysia ukuya eIran, ukusuka eJiphutha ukuya eIraq, ukusuka eAlgeria ukuya eSenegal, ukusuka eSyria ukuya eKenya, ukusuka eLibya ukuya eChad, ukusuka eLebanon ukuya eMorocco, ukusuka eIndonesia ukuya eYemen, ukusuka eSaudi. IArabia iye eSomalia, intiyo yaseNtshona iyadumba okomlilo odliswa ngumoya. Kwaye abalandeli be-Islamic Fundamentalism baphinda-phinda njengeprotozoa yeseli eyahlulahlulwe ibe ziiseli ezimbini emva koko isine emva koko zisibhozo zishumi elinesithandathu ziye kumashumi amathathu anesibini. Ukungapheliyo.
E-France, iqela elibizwa ngokuba yi-Movement Against Racism kunye nobuhlobo phakathi kwaBantu lazama ukuyithintela le ncwadi. Inkundla yaseFransi yasikhaba eso sicelo. E-Itali, incwadana enesihloko esithi Islam Punishes Oriana Fallaci, ebhalwe ngumongameli we-Italiyane yamaQela amaSilamsi, yacela amaSilamsi ukuba ahambe ayokufa no-Fallaci. UNks Fallaci wamangalela umbhali ngokunyelisa kunye nokukhuthaza ukubulala.
Ubomi bam, UNkosazana Fallaci wabhala kwintshayelelo yencwadi yakhe, usemngciphekweni omkhulu.
Kwaye hayi kuphela abanqolobi. Ngo-1992, wenziwa utyando ngenxa yomhlaza wamabele; wandixelela ukuba angabhubha nanini na. Kodwa usahamba njengentombazana ekwishumi elivisayo etshibilikayo, ixhumaxhuma inyuka, isenza ubuso. Usela iwayini entle ayigcina endlwini yakhe yedolophu kwaye utshaye iipakethe ezimbini zeesigarethi ngosuku-uthe i-oncologist yakhe iyakuvumela oko.
Ngaphambi kwencwadi yakhe entsha, UNkosazana Fallaci wayezuze udumo kwihlabathi liphela njenge ntatheli kunye nombhali-omhle, othetha phandle, okrelekrele La Fallaci-owayegubungele iMfazwe yaseVietnam kwaye waqhuba udliwanondlebe olunamandla kunye nosaziwayo-uArthur Miller, Orson Welles, Hugh UHefner, uSammy Davis Jr.-kunye neenkokheli zehlabathi ezinje ngo-Indira Gandhi, uGolda Meir, u-Shah wase-Iran, u-Ariel Sharon, u-Ayatollah Khomeini, u-Yasir Arafat no-Deng Xiaoping (okanye, njengoko ebabiza abanye babo, abo bastard bathatha isigqibo. ubomi bethu). UHenry Kissinger wathi udliwanondlebe kunye noNkosazana Fallaci yayiyeyona ncoko intle endakha ndanayo nalo naliphi na ilungu leendaba.
Ukubhala kwakhe kuye kwabenza ubomi bakhe ukuba bube lula-ukongeza kwindlu yakhe yedolophu yaseManhattan, unendawo yokuhlala eFlorence kunye nendlu enamagumbi angama-23 yelizwe laseTuscany-nangona intuthuzelo ingakhange ibenze bangabikho.
Ngelixa sasisela iSancerre kwigumbi lakhe lokuhlala, singqongwe ziishelufa zeencwadi ezazigcwele uShakespeare, uDickens, uMelville, uPoe, uHemingway, uMalraux kunye noKipling, wayethetha ngempumelelo yeThe Rage kunye neQhayiya eYurophu.
Ndinezinyanga neenyanga kunye neenyanga zezona zinto zithengiswa kakhulu, U-Nks. Fallaci watsho ngesithethi sakhe esomeleleyo seFlorentine. Andikutsho oku ukuzenzela ukuvuyisana. Nditsho oku ukuze ndikrwelele ithisisi yam-ukuba umzuzu uvuthiwe! Ukuba ndibeke umnwe kwi-nerve yento: ukufuduka kwamaSilamsi, okukhulayo nokukhula ngaphandle kokuzifaka kwindlela yethu yobomi, ngaphandle kokwamkela indlela yethu yobomi kwaye, ngokuchaseneyo, ukuzama ukusinyanzela indlela yayo ubomi…. Kwaye abantu base-Europe bacatshukiswa kukuzingca kwabaninzi baba bahlaseli kwaye baphathwa kakubi ngegama elingalunganga elithi 'ubuhlanga' xa beqhankqalaza, kangangokuba bekukho uhlobo lokunxanelwa incwadi enje ngale…. Ayikho enye ingcaciso yempumelelo yencwadi! Ndibhale iincwadi ezingcono kunale. Ndibhale iincwadi ezintle ngomsebenzi wobomi bam. Esi sisikhalo kunokuba sisincoko-incwadi ebhalwe kwiiveki ezimbini, c’mon. Ngoba? Yayingeyoncwadi ngokwayo. Kwakunxaniwe, indlala.
Uyazi ekuguqulweni kwembali kukho amaxesha, utshintsho oluntsonkothileyo, utshilo. Cinga onke amanyathelo embali. Ndiyoyika ukuba ngoku sikolunye lwala majiko. Hayi kuba siyifuna. Ngenxa yokuba ibekwe kuthi. Eli ayiloxesha lotshintsho, njengeMelika yoQhushululu okanye iFrance Revolution…. Kukuchasana noko! Hayi. Kwaye ichasene nathi. Ndonwabile ukuba ndingabinalo phambi kwam ikamva elide kakhulu eliya kuqinisekisa ukubikezela kwam. Kodwa uya kuphila yonke.
INtshona, utshilo, iphantsi kohlaselo kwaye ayiyiqondi loo nto.
Ukuba asihlali, ukuba siyazivumela sisoyike, emva koko sisebenzisana nathi, utshilo. Ukuba asenzi nto… siphulukana nemfazwe ebhengeziweyo ngokuchasene nathi.
Singathetha kangangeenkulungwane ngegama elithi 'ubuhlanga,' utshilo. 'Ubuhlanga' bunento yokwenza nobuhlanga hayi nenkolo. Ewe ndichasene nenkolo, inkolo elawula ubomi babantu kwimizuzu yonke yosuku lwabo, ebeka i-burqa kwabasetyhini, ephatha abafazi njengeenkamela, eshumayela isithembu, esika izandla zamasela angathathi ntweni…. Andikho kunqulo-zonke iinkolo kunzima ukuzamkela-kodwa eyamaSilamsi ayilulo nokuba yinkolo, ngokoluvo lwam. Bubuzwilakhe, ubuzwilakhe-inkolo ekuphela kwayo emhlabeni engazange yenze umsebenzi wokuzigxeka…. Ayinakushukunyiswa. Iya isiba mandundu ngokuya…. Yiminyaka eyi-1,400 kwaye aba bantu zange baphinde bazihlolisise, kwaye ngoku bafuna ukuza kuyinyanzela, kuthi?
Mamela, utshilo ephulula umnwe. Abo bangayilandeliyo into abayithethayo abantu abafana nam ayinyani, baneliso elibukhali ngokwenene, kuba ababuboni ubunyani…. AmaSilamsi anomdla, kwaye siphulukene nomnqweno. Abantu abafana nam abanomdla bayagculelwa: ‘Ha ha ha! Uyaphambana! '' Unomdla kakhulu! 'Mamela indlela amaMelika athetha ngayo ngam:' NgumTaliyane onomdla kakhulu. '
Abantu baseMelika, watsho, ephinda-phinda into endiyixelele i-American Enterprise Institute, undifundise eli gama lisisiyatha: phola. Kulungile, kupholile, kupholile! Ukuphola, ukuphola, kufuneka upholile. Ukuphola! Xa ndithetha ngathi ndithetha ngoku, ngothando, uyancuma kwaye uyandihleka! Ndinomdla. Banomdla. Banomdla kunye nesibindi kangangokuba bakulungele ukuwufela.
Ndambuza malunga nezisongelo zokubulawa azifumanayo.
Ubeka umnwe enxebeni, uthe-kodwa hayi kuba esoyika. Andikwazi kuthwala oonogada, ucacisile. E-Itali, watsho, banyanzeliswa. Amakhaya akhe eFlorence naseTuscany agadwe ngokusondeleyo. Ukuba kukho into eyenzekileyo kuye e-Itali, wathi, iya kuba sisikhalazo sezopolitiko.
Nangona kunjalo, eNew York usesichengeni ngokufanelekileyo, kwaye uyayithanda.
Ndiyabulela uThixo abantu baseMelika abanandaba nam! utshilo, esongeza ukuba i-F.B.I. ebengapha kwamaxesha ambalwa.
Andiyithethi le nto kuba ndifuna ukubonakala ndifana noRambo, okanye andikhathali. Bubudenge obo, utshilo. Ngumoya wam. Xa uzalelwe emfazweni onjengam, uhlala emfazweni njengomntwana, xa ubusemfazweni njengomnxibelelanisi wemfazwe bonke ubomi bakho-ndithembe! Uphuhlisa uhlobo lwefatalism; uhlala ukulungele ukufa. Kwaye xa uyithanda inkululeko yakho njengokuba ndenzayo, awugobeli kuloyiko lokubulawa, kuba kungenjalo awenzi nto-uya phantsi kwebhedi kwaye uhlala uzifihlile iiyure ezingama-24.
Inqaku aliphumeleli okanye liphulukane, utshilo. Ewe ndifuna ukuwina. Inqaku kukulwa kakuhle ngesidima. Inqaku leli, ukuba uyafa, ukuze ufe ngeenyawo zakho, ume ngeenyawo. Ukuba undixelela, ‘Fallaci, kutheni usilwa kangaka? AmaSilamsi azakuphumelela kwaye azokubulala, 'ndiyaphendula kuwe,' Ndiyakonwabela-ndiza kufa ngeenyawo zam. '
Xa efumana iminxeba esongela ubomi bakhe, wathi, uyabavumela bathethe. Emva koko ndithi, ‘Ngaba uyazi ukuba uphi unyoko nomfazi wakho nodade wenu nentombi yakho bechanile ngalo mzuzu? Bakwi-brothel yaseBeirut. Ngaba uyayazi into abayenzayo? Banikela ngezabo’-andikuxeleli, kodwa nditsho kubo- ‘kwaye uyazi kubani? KumMerika. Mka!'
Waziva njani malunga noMongameli Bush?
Siza kubona; ngokukhawuleza, utshilo. Ndinoluvo lokuba uBush unamandla athile kunye nesidima esilityelweyo e-United States kangangeminyaka esibhozo.
Akayithandi, nangona kunjalo, xa uMongameli ebiza i-Islam inkolo yoxolo.
Ngaba uyazi ukuba ndenza ntoni qho xa esithi kumabonwakude? Ndilapho ndedwa, kwaye ndiyayibukela kwaye ndithi, ‘Thula! Thula, Bush! ’Kodwa akandimameli.
Ndiyamthanda umfazi wakhe, utshilo. Awuyi kukholwa: ULaura Bush unobuso bukamama xa umama wam esemncinci. Ubuso, umzimba, ilizwi. Ukuqala kwam ukubona kumabonwakude uLaura Bush, ndafikelwa ngumkhenkce kuba yayingathi umama akafanga. 'Oo, Mama,' ndatsho, 'Mama.'
U-Oriana Fallaci wakhula ehlwempuzekile, oyena dade mdala kwaba bathathu, eFlorence. Uyise u-Edoardo wayeyingcibi kunye neqela elalilwela ubuFasi. Igumbi lakhe lokulala lalizele ziincwadi. Ndavuka, ndabona iincwadi, watsho. Ndavala amehlo am ndalala, into yokugqibela endiyibonileyo ziincwadi. Waqala ukubhala amabali amafutshane eneminyaka eyi-9 emva kokufunda iJack London.
Kwi-The Rage kunye ne-Pride, ubhala malunga nomhla ngo-1943 xa iibhombu eziManyeneyo zawa eFlorence. Yena notata wakhe babalekela ecaweni, kwaye waqala walila. Uyise, ubhala, wandinika impama enamandla, wandijonga emehlweni wathi, 'Intombazana ayifanelanga ukuba ikhale.'
Wayeyinkokeli kwiNkcaso ngokuchasene namaFasi kwaye wenza ukuba intombi yakhe ijoni. Ngokwe-biografi ka-1998 ebhalwe ngu-Santo L. Aricò (u-Oriana Fallaci: Umfazi kunye neNtsomi), washushumbisa iziqhushumbisi ngexesha elidlulileyo; Igama lakhe ngu-Emilia. Ngo-1944, utata wakhe wabanjwa wagwetyelwa ukufa, kodwa isixeko sakhululwa ngaphambi kokuba kwenziwe isigwebo.
Imfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi yajonga kuthi, kum, engapheliyo, wandixelela. Ibhombu, ibhombu, ibhombu. Ndiyazi malunga neebhombu. Rhoqo ebusuku ii-siren- whoo, whoo! … Ukuphela kwemfazwe e-Italiya, ndikhumbula umzuzu omnye obalaseleyo; Ndicinga ukuba ndiza kufa kwaye, ndikhangela umzuzwana wolonwabo, ndiza kuyicinga loo nto. Kwakungecawe, ndinelokhwe entsha. Mhlophe. Kwaye bendimhle ngale lokhwe imhlophe. Bendisitya iayisi khrimu kusasa, nto leyo ibindonwabisa kakhulu. Ndandimhlophe yonke-inokuba yinto ethile yengqondo ehambelana nobunyulu, andazi. Kwaye kwangoko, andazi ukuba kutheni, kufanele ukuba yayiyiholide, zonke iintsimbi zikaFlorence-kunye neFlorence sisixeko esineentsimbi-zaqala ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong! Isixeko sonke sasiqhuma sisandi esimangalisayo seentsimbi. Kwaye bendihamba esitalatweni, kwaye ngekhe, andikaze-ndibenamawonga, amabhaso-andikaze ndive oko bendikuva ngentsasa leyo. Ngexesha lemfazwe iintsimbi azizange zikhale, kwaye ngoku sonke isixeko sasiqhuma sisandi seentsimbi! Khange ndiphinde ndiyingcamle. Akunakuze! … Ndive ngathi umhlaba uyazivulela…. Kwakubonakala kum ukuba imfazwe iphelile, ngonaphakade, kuye wonke umntu! Yayibubuyatha obo. Kanye ngelo xesha, uyazi ukuba babelungiselela ntoni? IHiroshima. Bendingazi!
Waphumelela kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo eneminyaka eyi-16 kwaye waya kwiDyunivesithi yaseFlorence, apho wafunda khona ubugqirha ngaphambi kokuba aqeshwe kwiphephandaba lemihla ngemihla. Kwiminyaka engama-21, waqalisa nokubhalela elinye lawona magazini aphezulu e-Italiya, u-Europeo. Kungekudala waxoxisana nabantu abanjengoClark Gable. Wayemnandi kakhulu, watsho. Andizange ndadibana nomntu oneentloni ngaphezu kukaClark Gable. Wayenentloni awunakumenza ukuba athethe.
Ngelixa egubungela iHollywood kwiminyaka yoo-1950 kunye neye-60, wabhala ngoJoan Collins, uGary Cooper, uCecil B. DeMille, uBurt Lancaster, uJayne Mansfield, uWilliam Holden. Wasondela ku-Orson Welles, owayezakubhala intshayelelo yencwadi yakhe yowe-1958, Izono ezisixhenxe zaseHollywood (Mamma mia, watya ukutya okuninzi! Wandixelela), kunye noMaria Callas no-Ingrid Bergman- onentombi yakhe u-Isabella URossellini, ukhusele uNkosazana Fallaci kwileta kaNovemba 2001 eya kwiThe New York Times.
(Ngo-1980's, wadibana nomlawuli uMartin Scorsese, owayengumyeni wokuqala kaNkosazana Rossellini. Ndicinga ukuba iScorsese ngumlawuli onomdla kakhulu, watsho. Njengomlawuli, ndiyamthanda. Njengendoda, andinakumthwala. Kuba akatshayi. Undimemele kwisidlo ekhayeni labo, kwaye ukuze nditshaye icuba bekufanele ndiye kwigumbi lokuhlambela. Ke isidlo sangokuhlwa ngasinye sasiba liphupha elibi. Kwafuneka ndiqubude ngefestile yomgangatho wama-58, ukubeka emngciphekweni wokuhamba ngendlela esecaleni kwendlela, kwaye ndiye ndamthiya kwaye ndilibale ukuba wayengumlawuli olungileyo.)
Ndibuze ngemfihlo yempumelelo yakhe enkulu njengentatheli. Uye wathi inento yokwenza nokuba akazange azame ukuba nenjongo. Injongo, utshilo, yayikukuhanahanisa okwenziwe eNtshona okungathethi nto. Kufuneka sithathe indawo. Ubuthathaka bethu eNtshona buzalwa yinyani yento ebizwa ngokuba yi ‘objectivity.’ Iinjongo azikho-ayinakubakho! … Eli gama lihanahaniso elixhaswa bubuxoki bokuba inyaniso ihlala embindini. Hayi, mhlekazi: Ngamanye amaxesha inyaniso ihlala kwicala elinye kuphela.
Sagqiba kwelokuba siyokutya isidlo sangokuhlwa. Ndibuze ukuba ingakhuseleka na.
Xa ukunye nam, ukhuselekile. Ndiyakukhusela, utshilo. Ndiyakuthembisa, akukho nto izakwenzeka kuwe ukuba ndikhona.
Epasejini yakhe, ndabona intengiso equlunqwe ngentetho ngokuchasene noHitler noMussolini eyanikwa ngumbhali olwa ubuFasi uGaetano Salvemini e-Irving Plaza ngo-1933.
Abazange bamamele, utshilo uNksz Fallaci. Abazange bamkholelwe; bekuse early kakhulu. Ndiziva ndisondele kakhulu njengoSalvemini. Kungenxa yokuba wayengxola ngela themba linye, eneempikiswano ezifanayo, kwaye abantu babengakholelwa kuye. Xa uthetha izinto kancinci kwangethuba, abakholelwa kuwe. UCapito?
Kwivenkile yokutyela, sahlala etafileni ecaleni kwebhari ukuze akwazi ukutshaya. Emva kwengxoxo ende, eshushu kunye nomnini-venkile yokutyela, UNks Fallaci wayalela iiprnns zaseSpain ngokungathandabuzi. Wayengakholelwa ukuba bafana ne-Italiyane.
Andiyikholelwa into ayithethileyo, wandixelela. ISpain ijonge kwelinye icala kwiMeditera, kodwa elinye icala likulwandlekazi lweAtlantic. Ke ukuba uthetha ngeembasa ezibanjiswe kwiAtlantic, ndiyakuthembisa bazakufana nabaseMelika. Kwaye emva koko andibafuni.
Xa afikayo amaqanda akhe, wathi, Uyayazi eyona nto amaMuslim kunye namaArabhu andifundise yona? Omnye kuphela? Ukutya ngezandla. Uyolo lokutya ngezandla alunasiphelo. Ama-Arabhu, ekuphela kwento abayenzayo kakuhle yindlela abakuchukumisa ngayo ukutya.
Ngo-Epreli ophelileyo, watsho, u-Ariel Sharon wamtsalela umnxeba encoma inqaku awayelibhale kwimpapasho yase-Italiya ngeveki iPanorama malunga nengxaki yokuchasana namaJuda ase-Yurobhu nase Arab
Uthe uphendule umnxeba wathi, ‘Hee, Sharon! Unjani? Utyebile? ’Kuba ndiyamazi. USharon wathi, ‘u-Oriana, ndikubizele ukuba uthi, Damn, unesibindi; damn, unesibindi; Damn, ndiyabulela. ’Ndithe,‘ Ariel, uyabulela-ndicela uxolo kunye nawe. Ndandingqwabalala kuwe kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo. ’Kwaye, njengesiqhelo, wayelinene.
Kubusuku obungaphambi komnxeba, bekukho uhlaselo kwi-kibbutz.
Ndathi, 'Mamela, sithandwa, ndiyazi ukuba kwenzeke ntoni phezolo kuloo kibbutz. Ndicela undivumele ndivakalise amazwi ovelwano kuwe nakubantu bakho? ’USharon waqalisa ukukhala. Andazi, andizange ndibone iinyembezi. Kodwa ilizwi elomntu owayelila, waqalisa ukukhwaza esithi: ‘Oriana! Nguwe wedwa othetha amazwi ovelwano! Uyazi, ezi ntloko zinegazi, bendithetha nje nabaseBritane nabaseMelika'-uBlair noBush -'abatsho eli lizwi kum. 'Kwaye ngelizwi elaphukileyo wathi,' Uyazi ngubani bakhona abafileyo phezolo? Omnye yayingumakhulu owayeseDachau nowayesenenombolo engalweni yakhe. Owesibini wayeyintombi yakhe, eyayikhulelwe iinyanga ezisixhenxe. Owesithathu wayengumntwana wentombi, owayeneminyaka emi-5 ubudala. Kwaye bonke bafile! Bonke bafile! Bonke bafile! ’Wayelila.
Wamxelela ukuba uza kuza eMelika kungekudala.
Ndathi, ‘Ariel, sinengxaki: Sibonana njani eNew York ngaphandle kwentatheli ziyazi?’ Ke ngoko siququzelele 007-elihle ibali. Ngobusuku obungaphambi kokuba uyakhumbula ukuba kwenzeka ntoni na, ukubulawa kwabantu eJerusalem? Ndiyakhumbula ukuba umncedisi wakhe, lo mfazi, wandibiza. Ndiphendule umnxeba wathi, 'Siyahamba, masibuye umva, asizi eNew York, uyazi ukuba kwenzeke ntoni?' Ndathi, 'Ndiyazi, ndiyivile, xelela iNkulumbuso. Umphathiswa ndiza kuza eYerusalem. 'Andizange ndiye. Andikwazi.
Ayikuko ukuba wayesoyika nayiphi na ingozi. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, wayekhe waya eVietnam. Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka engama-60, wayesele ebhale amakhulu amanqaku, wavela kwiThe Tonight Show, wapapasha iincwadi ezine-ke waya emfazweni, apho wadlan 'indlebe neenjengele, amajoni, ii-P.O.W kunye nabantu.
Ngesiquphe ndibanjwe luloyiko olungeyoyiko lokufa, wabhala ngo-1968. Luloyiko lokuphila.
Ngo-1968, ngelixa wayegubungela ukuvukela kwabafundi eMexico City, wazifumana sele ephakathi kwembubhiso. Wadutyulwa izihlandlo ezithathu; ngaphambili, wayephakamise iblawuzi yakhe ukuze andibonise iziva emqolo nasemva kwedolo.
Ndibe nethamsanqa, kuba naphina apho lingena khona, alichukumisi umthambo okanye umthambo, utshilo.
Ngo-1973, wenza udliwanondlebe nenkokheli yokuphikisa yamaGrike, u-Alexandros Panagoulis, emva kokuba ekhululwe ejele. Baba ngabathandi. Wabulawa kwingozi yemoto ekrokrisayo ngo-1976. Wabhala inoveli, Indoda, ngokusekelwe kubudlelwane babo. Ngeminyaka yoo-1960 kunye nowe-1970, waqhuba udliwanondlebe olwaludume kakubi neenkokheli zehlabathi; Umsebenzi wakhe uvele kupapasho olufana noBomi, iWashington Post kunye neNew York Times. Ngo-1990, incwadi ayibiza ngokuba yi-Iliad yanamhlanje, i-Inshallah -enoveli enamaphepha angama-600 malunga nemfazwe yaseLebhanon-yapapashwa kwaye yathengiswa kakuhle.
Ngo-1992, watyandwa umhlaza wamabele.
Ndamxelela ukuba ujongeka ephilile kakhulu emntwini osaphethwe ngumhlaza.
Nooooo, awuzange udibane nam ngaphambili, utshilo. Andaziwa.
Xa waqala ukuchacha, waqala ukubhala le nto ayibiza ngokuba yinoveli yakhe enkulu.
Yayiyiminyaka engama-30 ukuba inoveli yayihleli engqondweni yam, kwaye andinangqondo yokuyibhala, kuba bendisazi ukuba iyakuba nde kakhulu, inzima kakhulu, inzima kakhulu, utshilo. Yandoyikisa. Xa ndafumana umhlaza, ndafumana isibindi. Ndiyabulela kakhulu umhlaza, kuba undityhale. Ndathi, 'Heyi, ukuba awuyenzi ngoku, uyafa.'… Ke umntu osisimumu osisidenge-ndibiza umhlaza 'ngumphambukeli'-kufuneka andishiye ndide ndiyigqibe le ncwadi. Ukuba ndafa kusuku emva kokuba ndiyigqibile, ndiyafa ndonwabile. Khumbula, ukuba uyeva ukuba u-Fallaci usweleke, kodwa wayigqiba incwadi-kuya kufuneka ucinge ukuba u-Fallaci usweleke onwabile.
