Abanye ababhali banenhlanhla engcolile yokuduma uma sebeshonile. Njengakunoma yimuphi omunye umkhakha wokudala, lokhu kuvame ukwenzeka ngoba ungaphambi kwesikhathi sakho. Ngoba ngokuqinisekile kumanje kuphela lapho sesiyamukela kakhulu i-avant-garde, nakuba singaqondi lutho olubi mayelana nokuthi yini emelelwe thina ngobuciko noma esisitshela yona ngemibhalo.
Ngilethe lapha icala lika UCharles Willeford njengento eyivelakancane. Ngoba akukhona ukuthi wabheja ngencwadi ephazamisayo. Ubhale amanoveli akhe obugebengu kuphela ngempumelelo nangesikhathi esithe xaxa noma kancane kanye nokushintshashintsha kwawo okuxakile yilokho obekuphethe ukumletha lapha namuhla ngezibuyekezo ezingalindelekile.
Okumangazayo kungikhanga ngalelophuzu eliyimfihlakalo. Yini ekubuyiseleni, Charles? Ngokuqinisekile yileyo yenganekwane, yenganekwane eyandisiwe yomuntu ohluliwe ebonakala inikeza ukukhanya okusha ekuboniseni kwakhe ubuciko.
Kungenzeka ukuthi uCharles angadlula ku-stereotype ye omunye hit writer ngenoveli yakhe ethi Miami Blues. Noma mhlawumbe akunjalo, mhlawumbe kungenxa yokuthi isitayela sakhe esizalwa ku-hardboiled futhi siveza amahlaya ngobuciko. Kungenzeka futhi ukuthi ubulili bulangazelela izikhathi ezingcono futhi abamnyama ngokungangabazeki bayaphuthelwa lapha eSpain. UVazquez Montalban y UGonzalez Ledesma kuyilapho e-USA balangazelela UHammett noma uCharles Willeford ongajwayelekile.
Kwazi bani? Izifiso zomfundi noma izinhloso zokuhlela aziphenyeki, njengezindlela zenkosi. Iphuzu liwukuthi uWilleford ubuyile futhi kuhlale kuyinjabulo ekhethekile ukungena ezindaweni ezimnyama ezingaphansi komhlaba nazo esezivele zivaleleke phakathi kwenkungu yesikhathi...
