IiMbasa zeHlabathi zeFantasy, ezasekwa okokuqala ngo-1975, zibhiyozela amagcisa kwiintsomi eziyinyani, iintsomi kunye namaphupha minyaka le. Ngokwesiko, ophumeleleyo ngamnye ufumana intsholongwane ye-HP. I-Lovecraft, kodwa ibhodi isandula ukubhengeza ukuba baya kuwushiya lo mfanekiso.
I-Lovecraft, egama layo lifana kunye neentlobo zeentsomi ezingaqhelekanga, i-sci-fi, kunye ne-horror ngokungathandabuzekiyo inefuthe kwaye iyimbonakalo. Nangona kunjalo, uninzi lwalunemicimbi yokuwongwa kwemihla yanamhlanje kusetyenziswa imbeko yomntu odume ngobuhlanga, ubundlobongela, kunye nombhali onengxaki. Phakathi kwazo kwakukho iingcinga kunye nombhali we-YA uDaniel José Olde, owathi uxwebhu lwezikhalazo Ukutshintsha i-statuette ibe ngumfanekiso wombhali wase-Afrika-waseMelika u-Octavia Butler (endithetha ngaye).

Iireferensi ezindala zababhali abahlukeneyo, kubandakanya uNnedi Okorafor, umbhali waseNigeria-waseMelika ophumelele imbasa Osoyika Ukufa. U-Okorafor ubhale iposti yebhlog malunga nomfanekiso oqingqiweyo kwaye uvakalise ukungakhululeki kunye nemiceli mngeni yale ntetho.
Ngapha koko, umfanekiso oqingqiweyo wale ntloko yendoda yobuhlanga usekhaya lam. Umfanekiso oqingqiweyo wale ntloko yale ndoda inobuhlanga yenye yezona mbeko zam zibalaseleyo njengombhali. Umfanekiso oqingqiweyo wale ntloko yendoda yobuhlanga uhleli ecaleni kwam Ndikhetha uSoyink IbhasoUncwadieAfrika nakwam UCarl Brandon Ibhaso leParallax yoMbutho (ibhaso elinikwe eyona ntsomi iqikelelweyo ngumntu wombala). Ndiyaphikisana.
Ndincoma ukuyifunda yonke loo nto, njengoko naye ecaphula I-China Miéville 'Impendulo ekuphumeleleni uHoward, ekhetha ukonwabela ukubhala ngasemva kukaLovecraft. Omnye umbhali wombala, uSofia Samatar, wayibiza ngokuba yi elephants .
Uninzi luphikisane nengxelo ka-Okorafor, besithi uLovecraft ufanelwe yimbeko ngenxa yempembelelo yakhe, okanye ukuba uLovecraft ufuna ukufundwa njengemveliso yexesha lakhe. Apha, ndiyakholelwa ukuba umahluko obalulekileyo kufuneka wenziwe phakathi kokuhlonipha umfanekiso wakhe kule mihla yanamhlanje kunye nokuvuma ukubaluleka kwakhe kuncwadi.
Usebenzisa ukufana kwakhe njengembeko kubabhali bemihla yangoku, ngakumbi ababhali bombala benza ukuba uhlobo olo lungabandakanywa ngokuxhasa umzimba owoyikisayo. Ibhaso likaHoward yenye yezona mbeko zininzi zalemihla zibhiyozela ubuhlanga, ingxaki, kunye nabantu abafileyo (izitrato kunye nezakhiwo ezikhumbuza amalungu e-Confederacy, amagama abafundi abafundela ubukoloniyali, njl. Nangona kunjalo, ukuphatha ezi zinto njengezinto zembali kwahluke kakhulu ekuzenzeni kwakhona kubabhali banamhlanje. Amaqela abekelwe bucala akanalungelo lokujonga ezi zinto kwaye asebenze ngokwahlukileyo kwiingcambu zawo zobuhlanga.
U-Okorafor ugxininisa isidingo sokusayina ngokubambisana kunye nokuhambisa i-sci-fi / fantasy ngaphandle kwexesha elidlulileyo. Ngelixa kungekabikho zindaba zokuba ibhaso elitsha liza kujongeka kanjani, ndiyathemba ukuba bazakuhamba no-Octavia Butler, okanye enye into enguvukelo. Iplanethi, incwadi, okanye isiphekepheke sinokukhuseleka kakhulu. Ucinga ntoni?
