Ekugqibeleni ndiyifumene ikopi yam Ebusuku Vale Inoveli emva konxunguphalo oluninzi kunye UBarnes kunye noNoble iwebhusayithi ngeveki elungileyo emva kokuba iphumile. Ngelo xesha, ndandinomdla omkhulu endandiwusebenzisa ngokuntywila kwincwadi ngoko nangoko.
Isuntswana lokuqala lalicotha kancinci, kodwa oko kungenxa yokuba ndandisele ndilivile eNcwadiniCon. Izahluko ezimbalwa ezilandelayo zazilungile, zincinci nje ezifanayo-y. Kwaye mhlawumbi andikwazi ukugcina amehlo am evulekile kwiphepha le-100, kodwa mhlawumbi ndandidiniwe nje kumhla wam oxakekileyo, akunjalo? Kude kwaba sisihlandlo sesibini endilalayo xa ndifunda iphepha le- Ebusuku Vale inoveli endiye ndayiqonda ukuba ayililo ityala lam. Le ncwadi yayinobubele.
Ingxaki kukuba, i-podcast iza kwiincasa ezimbalwa, kwaye ubukhulu becala incwadi inenye. Ngamanye amaxesha uCecil umnyama kwaye uyimfihlakalo, ngamanye amaxesha uyonwabile okanye uchwayitile, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ukhe acinge ngokungathandabuzekiyo ngobume bobomi obucekeceke kunye neendlela abantu abadibana ngazo, kwaye uqhubeka nje ngokuqhubekayo, kwaye uqala ngokujonga ixesha xa esemhlabeni uzakubuyela kwisakhiwo. Le ncwadi iphantse yaphela kwithoni yokugqibela. UJoseph Fink noJeffrey Cranor bagqibe kwelokuba babhale incwadi malunga nelizwe labo elimangalisayo, eliyoyikisayo, elinekratshi kwaye bachitha ixesha labo elininzi bebhala iBali eliDala lokuFika.
Incwadi ijolise kubalinganiswa ababini abancinci abavela kwiPodcast: UDiane Crayton noJackie Fierro. UDiane ulilungu le-PTA yengingqi kunye nomama ongatshatanga osokola ukunxibelelana ngokweemvakalelo nonyana wakhe okwishumi elivisayo, uJosh (ongumlungisi-milo). UJackie yintombazana eneminyaka elishumi elinesithoba eqhuba ivenkile yaseNight Vale. Usebenze apho kule minyaka akuyo ngoku amashumi eminyaka ngoku, ngaphandle kwengcinezelo evela kubahlobo bakhe abaphakathi ngoku ukuba baphinde baguga kwakhona.
Bobabini uDiane noJackie baphila neengxaki ezisekwe kwi-stasis. Bobabini kufuneka batshintshe ubomi babo kodwa abazi ukuba njani (okanye, kwimeko kaJackie, nokuba bafuna njalo).
Ingxaki iqala kuDiane xa omnye wabalingane abasebenza naye elahleka kwangaxeshanye noyise olahlekileyo konyana wakhe ebuyela edolophini. Iingxaki zikaJackie ziqala xa esamkela iphepha elingaqondakaliyo kwiNdoda kwiJack Jack. Kuthatha ixesha ukuba abafazi babone ukuba iingxaki zabo zidibene njani, kodwa xa besenza njalo, bayamanyana ukuze bajongane nobunye bobona bungozi obukhulu beNight Vale kunye neemfihlakalo ezinzulu, kubandakanya isazisi sokwenene seNdoda kwiJack Jack.
Kulungile, ukuyichwetheza ngoluhlobo kwenza ukuba ibali livakale ngathi lihle kakhulu; Ndiyavuma ukuba kukho izinto ezintle ezipholileyo kule ncwadi. Kwakukho ii-cameo ezivela kubalinganiswa abaninzi abadumileyo; siye sabona iNight Vale ngokwembono eyahlukileyo kuneyeCecil kube kanye, kwaye sade sazi ngakumbi malunga nezinto ezinje kwiThala leeNcwadi loLuntu laseNight Vale. Injalo nje, kulungile, kwathatha ixesha elide ukuba incwadi iqinisekise ukuba ikho wayenjalo iyelenqe eliphambili. Ukujikeleza iphepha le-150, ndiye ndabona ukuba zininzi izinto ezenzekileyo, kodwa yonke le nto ibivakala ngathi ayinangqondo okanye ayinasisa. UJackie wandwendwela uMfazi Omdala uJosie, uCarlos, kunye noSodolophu uDana Cardinal ukuba bazame ukufunda ngeNdoda enxibe iJacket, kodwa akukho namnye kubo owayenokumxelela nantoni na eluncedo. UDiane wayeneencoko ezininzi nonyana wakhe, kodwa zonke zazifana kwaye zenza okuncinci ukuqhubela phambili iyelenqe. Ndivakalelwe kukuba bendifunda nje izigcawu ixesha elide ndingenalo naliphi na ibali.
Izinto ekugqibeleni zaqala ukuhlala kwindawo emalunga nesiqingatha, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo zazikho iindawo ezinyanzelayo. Bendimthanda kakhulu uJackie noDiane besilwa indlela yabo kwithala leencwadi. Ndiyithandile imeko engaqhelekanga kunye neyoyikekayo yendoda emhlophe ebonakalise kuyo yonke indawo. Ndizithandile iincoko zikaDiane kunye noomabonakude kunye nezicwangciso zakhe ezisengqiqweni kodwa eziphazamisayo zokufika eKing City engaqondakaliyo. Andifuni ukuyenza ibonakale ngathi le ncwadi yayingamava amabi; Ndicinga nje, ngokusekwe kumgangatho womboniso, kunokuba ngcono.
Ngokuchaseneyo, kukho inani leencwadana ezivela kumdlalo kaCecil kuyo yonke le ncwadi. Kuhlala kukho into ethile kubo eqhubela phambili okanye izimvo malunga nomba othile webali, kodwa ukubhala kuzo kubhetele kakhulu. Inomdla, iyahlekisa, kwaye iyandikhumbuza ukuba kutheni ndingumlandeli Wamkelekile ku Night Vale . Ikwabonakalise nombono wohlobo lwencwadi endinqwenela ukuba ndiyifunde.
Kodwa ke, eyona ndawo yokugweba inoveli kukugqibela, xa yonke imicu yelenqe isonjululwe. Funda ngomngcipheko wakho, kuba kulapho aqala khona AMANQAKU ENKULU.
Ke, ukutsalwa okukhulu kwale ncwadi kum yayisithembiso sokuba ekugqibeleni siyakufumana isisombululo komnye wayo Wamkelekile ku Night Vale Iimfihlelo ezisebenza ixesha elide: inyani malunga neNdoda enxibe iJacket. Okulusizi kukuba, ndaziva ukuba esi sisombululo asidanisi nje kuphela kodwa sasingavakali ncam.
Indoda enxibe iJack Jack iba ngumntu oqhelekileyo ngokumangalisayo. Umntu wakudala kaDiane, indoda egama linguTroy, washiya i-Night Vale kwiminyaka eyadlulayo kwaye waqala ukuziphindaphinda kwenye idolophu ebizwa ngokuba yiKing City. Ngenxa yoko, abantu baseKing City baqala ukuphulukana neenkumbulo zabo (ungabuzi) kwaye usodolophu wabo waba ngumntu ongenakukhunjulwa. Usodolophu emva koko waya kuNight Vale kwaye waqalisa ukuzama ukufumana nabani na ukuba amncede. Wayenxibe nebhatyi emnyama ukuba ndifuna ukudibanisa amachaphaza.
Kulungile… kodwa kutheni iingelosi zingazange zimthande ukufika kwakhe edolophini? Kutheni le nto besithi wayevela ezantsi komhlaba aze aphazamise uJosie ekufundeni ngakumbi ngaye? Kutheni le nto wayesebenza neApache Tracker ukusindisa uCarlos kwimpucuko encinci ephantsi kwendlela yokubhowula? Kutheni le nto yena kunye ne-Apache Tracker bexhwithe usodolophu u-Pamela Winchell bamsa kwindawo apho aqiniseke khona ukuba ashiye isikhundla sokuba ngusodolophu?
Indoda enxibe iJack Jack ibinento eninzi ayithethileyo ngaye kule minyaka idlulileyo. Ewe kwacetyiswa ukuba unekhaya elisemngciphekweni, kodwa wachitha ixesha elininzi ebandakanyeka kwiimfihlo ze-Night Vale kwaye ezama ukuyikhusela kwizoyikiso ezingaziwayo. Umqolo wencwadi ekugqibeleni usinika uziva ungaphelelanga kwaye wenza iNdoda enxibe iJack ibonakale ngathi iyazingca kwaye iyazola kunokuba bendilindele. Ekugqibeleni, ufuna ukuba uDiane ashiye unyana wakhe eKing City, eya kuthi ngeendlela ezithile iqulethe iikopi zeTroys. Kuyavela ukuba uJackie angafakwa endaweni kaJosh, kwaye okokugqibela esikubonayo ngeNdoda enxibe iJacket ikhalela uDiane noJackie ukuba benze isigqibo sokuba ngubani oza kushiyeka. Imbi kakhulu idrama yelo xesha iphantsi ngokupheleleyo xa abafazi bethatha isigqibo sokukhwaza uTroy bayeke ukungakhathali kwaye babuyele ekhaya sele bekhona.
Amabali ebali kunye noDiane noJackie bawa phantsi kum. Ekugqibeleni uJackie uqala ukukhumbula ubuntwana bakhe kunye nokuvuthwa ngokwaneleyo ukuba abe mdala kancinci, kodwa akaze ajongane neminye imicimbi eza naye. Ngaba uza kuzama ukwenza ubudlelwane notata wakhe ongekhoyo? Ufuna ukwenza ntoni ngobomi bakhe ukuba ayiyiyo le ebehlala eyenza? Okwangoku, ndimfumanise ukuba ungumntu othandekayo, kwaye bendonwabile ukufumana uxolo ekugqibeleni.
Ndikunye noDiane, ndaye ndacaphuka. Ingxaki yakhe yayikukuba unyana wakhe wayebubomi bakhe bonke nangona wayengakwazi ukunxibelelana naye, kodwa ke ekupheleni kwencwadi, ndandisazi ukuba uJosh wayengumntu onjani. Wayengu-archetype wokufikisa okwishumi elivisayo. Ngona kwincopho yebali, uDiane wayesamphazamisa kwaye engamvumeli ukuba enze iimvakalelo zakhe. Kwakukhathaza ngokwenene ukufunda, kuba kwakungathi uDiane akazange ngokwenene abe ngumama ongcono ekupheleni kwebali.
Ke ngoku, iyonke Wamkelekile ku Night Vale Inoveli yayingeyiyo le nto ndandinethemba lokuba iya kuba fan kwaye njengomthandi weencwadi ngokubanzi. Ndiqinisekile ukuba uninzi lwabantu alunakuvumelana nam (uphononongo lweAmazon ngokuqinisekileyo lukhangeleka lukhulu), kwaye kulungile. Ndonwabile kuye nawuphi na umlandeli okanye umntu omtsha ofumana into kweli bali. Ke mna, ndicinga ukuba ndiza kunamathela kuCecil.
