Musi waZvita 11, 2021, ndakamuka ndikanzwa kuti Anne Rice akanga afa. Handisi kuzonyepa. I was not okay. Ndinotenda muhupenyu kune mabhuku asingaverengeki achazarura maziso ako uye zvichida, kunyange kuchinja hupenyu hwako. Pane iyo flipside, ndinofunga kuti kune vashoma chete vanyori kune mumwe nemumwe wedu watinonyatso batana naye, ane mabhuku anonzwa sekunge akauya muhupenyu hwedu panguva chaiyo chaiyo, uye anotipa chimwe chinhu chisingatarisirwi zvekuti tinova vateveri vehupenyu hwose.

Muma90s, sevamwe vakawanda muchizvarwa changu, ndakawana Anne Rice. Ndinorangarira ndichiona turera ye Kubvunzana naVampire, uye kukwezvwa zvizere mukati nokuora kwayo uye kutya kwakanyarara. Sezvingatarisirwa, pandakaiverenga kubva mubhuku, ndakashanyira raibhurari yeko ndokukwereta tome yacho, ndichienda nayo kumba ndoinakidza sechiitiko chinoyevedza chayakasikwa kuti ive.

Ndanga. Kutakurwa.

Louis naClaudia, uye hongu, Lestat ane mukurumbira, akasvetuka kubva papeji. New Orleans yakararama uye yakafema. Paris akandidaidza. Hutsinye hwekuda kwaingopfuura nekutaurisa nyaya zvine hungwaru kune hudzamu zvekuti ndaiziva kuti ndaiverenga chimwe chinhu chakasiyana nechero chandaive ndambosangana nacho.

Chakanyanyondibata, zvisinei, hwakanga huri ukama hwaLouis naLestat. It was so beautiful complicated, so zvinorwadza zverudo. Semukomana wepangochani akavharirwa mumusha wechiKristu, ndakadzidziswa ndichiri mudiki kuti varume vaisakwanisa kudanana. kuti nzira. Zvirokwazvo, vaigona kuchiva mumwe nomumwe. Vaigona kuva nenyota yemuviri yemumwe nemumwe, asi kuti vabatane pamweya wemweya zvaisaita. Asi, pano, mumapeji e indavhiyu, yaive nyaya yevarume vaviri vaidanana zvisingarambike.

Hongu, vaiva vampire. Hongu, rudo irworwo dzimwe nguva rwaive muchetura uye dzimwe nguva rwaiita sehusina kusimba seshuga yakarukwa, asi rwaive rudo zvakadaro, rwusiri rwechokwadi kana kusafungika kupfuura mazana enyaya dzerudo idzo dzainge dzataurwa pamusoro pevakaroorana vakananga kwemazana emakore.

Sezvingatarisirwa, pandakapedza bhuku iroro rokutanga, ndakaenda Iyo Vampire Lestat uye Mambokadzi weVakatukwa. Ndakaona Awa Yevaroyi uye Chema Kudenga, nyaya isiri yemashura inosara yandinoda Anne Rice novel kusvika nhasi.

Zvandakazoziva ndezvokuti munyika yakasikwa naAnne Rice, murume kana mukadzi uye zvepabonde zvaive zvakanyorova, rudo rwakanga rwune simba, uye kutya kwaitenderera, kwakagadzirwa nemafungiro uye mhepo pane miviri yakatyoka uye makumbo akachekwa.

Ndakasvika pakudavira kuti akanga achinyorera isu tose taigara kunze kwenzanga, vaya vakanga vasingadiwi uye vakadzingwa. Neimwe nzira handina kungonzwa ndichionekwa, asi ndakanzwa kunzwisiswa. Ndakaziva, kunyange seri kwegonhi rakavharwa rewadhiropu, kuti paive nemunhu mumwe chete munyika aizondiwana.

Izvi zvakasimbiswa zvakare apo pasi rose rakaunzwa kuna Christopher Rice, mwanakomana wemunyori. Ingochani iri kunze uye inodada akagara nhaka chipo chaamai vake chekutaura nyaya. Chainyanya kukosha, kunyanguvezvo, kwaiva kuona kudada kukuru uye rukudzo rwaiva narwo kune mumwe nomumwe. Chakanyanya kundirwadza ndechekuti Rice haana kubvuma hungochani hwemwana wake nekuti mumaziso ake hapana chekubvuma.

Akanga ari mwanakomana wake. Aimuda. Zvaiva zvakwana.

Kana usati wamboona vaviri vakagara vachitaura nezvekunyora uye nezvekuva mhuri, ini handikwanise kukukurudzira kuti uende kuYouTube utarise mabhuku avo emabhuku avakamboita vese. Hurukuro dzacho dzinosetsa zvinosetsa, uye rudo rwavo kune mumwe nomumwe nderwechokwadi.

Chokwadi, upenyu hwake hwave husina kukakavara. Mukutanga 2000s, akazivisa kuti akange asisazonyora nezve vampires. Akatendeukira, pachinzvimbo chake, kune imwe nyaya yezvechitendero, achivandudza zvikamu zvehupenyu hwaJesu Kristu. Aitora rwendo rwake ega, uye vazhinji vevateveri vake vasina shungu vakamusiya.

Kwandiri zvaitoita kuti ndiwedzere kumuda.

Ndakanga ndaita rwendo rwakafanana, munoona. Nyika yechitendero yandakakurira yakanga yandifuratira, uye ndakanga ndarasika. Ndakanzwisisa kuti chaive chii kutenda uye kunzwa sekunge kubuda kwekutenda ikoko kuri kunyimwa kubva kwauri. Ndakaziva zvazvaita kuziva kuti Mwari wawakaudzwa kuti achakuda nekusingaperi akatokuvenga nekuda kwechinhu chausingakwanise kuchinja.

Ndakanzwisisawo kuti sei Rice aida nzvimbo pakati pake nevevampire Lestat. Akataura kazhinji mubvunzurudzo nezve hukama pakati peBrat Prince nemurume wake, nyanduri uye muimbi, Stan Rice. Zvaiva nemusoro kwandiri kuti mushure mekufa kwake, aizoda nzvimbo nenguva.

Ehe, pakupedzisira, munyori akadzokera kune vampires, achigadzira mamwe epic mavhoriyamu. Iye zvakare, kekutanga, akapinda munyika ye werewolves uye inoshamisa ngano yeAtlantis.

Ipapo, makore mashomanene apfuura, kwakaziviswa kuti Anne Rice nomwanakomana wake vaizobudisa bhuku pamwe chete. Ramses Akatukwa: Passion yeCleopatra ndakanga ndisingatarisiri kutaura zvishoma. Kuteedzera kune yake 1989 novel, Ramses Akatukwa, vaviri vacho vakagadzira kuenderera mberi kweiyo epic, vachizvinyudza mukutanga kwezana ramakore re20 nehunyanzvi hwaF. Scott Fitzgerald uye chakavanzika uye marongero aAgatha Christie.

Yakanga yakanyorwa zvisina musono ine prose yakanaka iyo neimwe nzira yairatidza manyorerwo avose amai nemwanakomana. Ramses raive rimwe rebasa raRice risingazivikanwe iro risingambotarisirwe raikodzera, sekufunga kwangu. Zvakare, sepwere zhinji dzaisaziva, ndakapfuura nepakati pe“chikamu cheEgypt” muhudiki hwangu umo ndaidya nyaya dzese nengano dzedunhu iri saka pamwe ndaiva mumiriri wekuda kwayo.
