1
00:00:06,407 --> 00:00:10,697
Bibi muongeaji na mhalifu anayezurura
wakizozana katika barabara chafu.

2
00:00:10,697 --> 00:00:14,798
Muuza Biblia anampeleka mwanafalsafa
mwenye mguu mmoja bandani.

3
00:00:14,798 --> 00:00:19,641
Fundi anaesafiri anamfundisha mwanamke
kiziwi neno lake la kwanza shambani.

4
00:00:20,231 --> 00:00:22,561
Kutoka shambani kwake vijijini Georgia,

5
00:00:22,561 --> 00:00:25,053
akizungukwa na kundi la ndege wa kufugwa,

6
00:00:25,053 --> 00:00:27,533
Flannery O'Connor aliandika simulizi
za waliotengwa,

7
00:00:27,533 --> 00:00:31,363
wavamizi na wasioleweka waliunda
dunia aliyoifahamu vizuri:

8
00:00:31,753 --> 00:00:33,013
Marekani Kusini.

9
00:00:33,513 --> 00:00:34,962
Alichapisha riwaya mbili,

10
00:00:35,202 --> 00:00:37,652
lakini anajulikana zaidi
kwa simulizi zake fupi,

11
00:00:37,852 --> 00:00:42,612
ambazo zilichunguza maisha ya mji mdogo kwa
lugha kali, na ucheshi usio wa kawaida,

12
00:00:42,752 --> 00:00:45,152
na mazingira ya kufurahisha yenye karaha.

13
00:00:45,482 --> 00:00:48,538
Kwenye muda wake wa ziada O'Connor
alichora katuni,

14
00:00:48,538 --> 00:00:51,088
na uandishi wake pia
umejaa masihara.

15
00:00:51,088 --> 00:00:56,088
Kwenye simulizi zake, mama na sura
"pana na ya upole kama kabichi",

16
00:00:56,768 --> 00:00:59,858
mwanaume ana nguvu sana kama "dekio la
sakafuni",

17
00:01:00,268 --> 00:01:03,217
na mwili wa mwanamke mmoja
una umbo kama "chombo cha kuzika".

18
00:01:04,247 --> 00:01:06,787
Majina ya wahusika wake yamejawa ujanja.

19
00:01:07,147 --> 00:01:10,127
Chukulia simulizi "Maisha Unayoyaokoa
Yanaweza Kuwa ya Kwako",

20
00:01:10,257 --> 00:01:13,257
ambapo mtembezi mwenye mkono mmoja
Tom Shiftlet anaenda kwenye maisha

21
00:01:13,257 --> 00:01:15,767
ya ajuza mmoja aitwae Lucynell Crater

22
00:01:15,767 --> 00:01:17,737
na binti yake ambaye ni kiziwi na bubu.

23
00:01:17,737 --> 00:01:19,767
Japo mama Carter anajiamini,

24
00:01:19,767 --> 00:01:21,967
nyumba yake iliyojitenga inaanguka.

25
00:01:22,197 --> 00:01:25,107
Mwanzoni, tunaweza kushuku nia za Shiflet

26
00:01:25,107 --> 00:01:27,297
alipojitolea kusaidia kwenye nyumba,

27
00:01:27,297 --> 00:01:29,957
lakini O'Connor anaenda kuonyesha
kuwa yule ajuza ni

28
00:01:29,957 --> 00:01:32,547
mjanja kama mgeni wake asiotarajiwa-

29
00:01:32,547 --> 00:01:35,697
na kutikisa mategemeo ya msomaji
kuhusu nani ana faida zaidi.

30
00:01:35,857 --> 00:01:38,467
Kwa O'Connor, hamna somo lililokuwa
na kizuizi.

31
00:01:38,847 --> 00:01:40,637
Japo alikuwa ni Mkatoliki aliyejitoa,

32
00:01:40,637 --> 00:01:42,767
hakuogopa kufuatilia uwezekano

33
00:01:42,767 --> 00:01:45,007
wa mawazo mema na tabia isiyo njema,

34
00:01:45,007 --> 00:01:46,967
inayokuwepo kwa mtu mmoja.

35
00:01:47,027 --> 00:01:49,317
Kwenye riwaya yake ya Wajeuri
Wanaiondolea Mbali,

36
00:01:49,317 --> 00:01:52,797
mhusika mkuu anatingwa na mawazo
ya kuwa mtu wa Mungu -

37
00:01:52,987 --> 00:01:55,637
lakini pia anawasha moto na kuua.

38
00:01:55,757 --> 00:01:59,907
Kitabu kinaanza na nabii amaesita
akiwa kwenye nafasi yenye utata:

39
00:02:00,037 --> 00:02:04,237
"Mjomba wa Francis Marion Tarwater
alikua amekufa kwa nusu siku tu

40
00:02:04,287 --> 00:02:07,597
pale huyo mvulana alipolewa sana akashindwa
kumalizia kuchimba kaburi lake".

41
00:02:07,597 --> 00:02:11,648
Hii inamuacha mpita njia "kuvuta
mwili kutoka kwenye meza ya chai

42
00:02:11,668 --> 00:02:13,728
ambapo ulikuwa umekaa bado na
kuuzika [...]

43
00:02:13,728 --> 00:02:16,358
na udongo wa kutosha kwa juu
kuzuia mbwa kuufukua".

44
00:02:17,068 --> 00:02:19,108
Japokuwa siasa zake bado ni za kulumbana,

45
00:02:19,108 --> 00:02:22,518
bunilizi ya O'Connor inaweza pia
kulinganishwa na ubaguzi wa Kusini.

46
00:02:23,218 --> 00:02:25,768
Kwenye "Kila Kinachopanda Lazima
Kikutane",

47
00:02:25,788 --> 00:02:28,508
anaelezea mvulana anayechukizwa
na upendeleo wa mama yake.

48
00:02:28,698 --> 00:02:31,598
Lakini simulizi inaelezea kuwa
ana mapungufu yake

49
00:02:31,658 --> 00:02:34,048
na inasema kwamba kuyagundua mabaya tu

50
00:02:34,048 --> 00:02:36,598
haitetei tabia yake kutokuthibitiwa.

51
00:02:36,608 --> 00:02:39,857
Hata O'Connor anavyochunguza
mambo potofu ya ubinadamu,

52
00:02:39,917 --> 00:02:42,577
anaacha mlango wa ukombozi wazi kidogo.

53
00:02:42,817 --> 00:02:45,007
Kwenye "Mwanaume Mzuri ni Mgumu Kupata",

54
00:02:45,007 --> 00:02:48,897
anamkomboa ajuza anayeteseka kwa
kumsamehe mshitakiwa aliyekubuhu,

55
00:02:48,992 --> 00:02:51,232
hata anavyoikaribia familia yake.

56
00:02:51,762 --> 00:02:54,987
Japo tunaweza kushtushwa na malipo
anayolipa huyu mama kusamehewa,

57
00:02:54,987 --> 00:02:57,427
tunalazimika kukabiliana na
yanayoendelea kwenye mda

58
00:02:57,427 --> 00:03:00,367
tunapoweza kuzingatia kuwa
ukatili au ubaya.

59
00:03:00,367 --> 00:03:02,777
Uwezo wa O'Connor wa ajabu

60
00:03:02,777 --> 00:03:06,131
na tafiti zake za kujitenga na
ushirikina wa Kusini

61
00:03:06,391 --> 00:03:09,681
ulimpelekea kutambuliwa kama
mwandishi wa Kigothi wa Kusini.

62
00:03:09,681 --> 00:03:12,371
Lakini kazi yake ilisogea kupita
tabia za kijinga kabisa

63
00:03:12,371 --> 00:03:14,936
na za kutisha zilizohusishwa
na huo mtindo

64
00:03:14,936 --> 00:03:18,316
kuvumbua tofauti na mchanganyiko
wa tabia za binadamu.

65
00:03:18,336 --> 00:03:20,776
Alijua baadhi ya hii tofauti
ilileta karaha,

66
00:03:20,796 --> 00:03:23,286
na kuwa hadithi zake zingekuwa
na ladha inayohitajika -

67
00:03:23,286 --> 00:03:25,976
lakini alisikia raha kuwachanganya
wasomaji wake,

68
00:03:26,136 --> 00:03:29,136
O'Connor alikufa kwa lupus akiwa
na miaka 39,

69
00:03:29,136 --> 00:03:33,396
baada ya ugonjwa kumweka shambani mwake
Georgia kwa miaka kumi na mbili.

70
00:03:33,556 --> 00:03:35,036
Kwenye miaka hiyo,

71
00:03:35,036 --> 00:03:37,316
aliandika kazi zake nyingi
alizokuwa akiwaza.

72
00:03:37,416 --> 00:03:40,246
Uwezo wake wa kuhama kati ya
maudhi na uvumbuzi

73
00:03:40,376 --> 00:03:44,536
unaendelea kuvutia wasomaji kwenye
dunia yake ya kufikirika isiyoisha.

74
00:03:44,696 --> 00:03:47,176
Kama mhusika Tom Shirlet anavyosema,

75
00:03:47,436 --> 00:03:49,316
mwili ni "kama nyumba:

76
00:03:49,416 --> 00:03:50,696
haiendi popote,

77
00:03:50,766 --> 00:03:53,750
lakini roho, mwanamke,
ni kama gari moto:

78
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,150
daima lipo kwenye mwendo".
