IN KAKO SE JE SPOPADEL Z RISANJEM DINOZAVROVIH NOG. MARK HADDON njige za otroke pišem že sedemnajst let. Ves ta čas v moj nabiralnik Kredno prihajajo pisma. Večina je od bralcev, ki mi sporočajo, kako zelo jih je navdušila katera izmed mojih knjig; zaradi njih mi je še ves dan toplo pri srcu. Nekatera druga se začenjajo takole: »Dragi gospod Haddon, pri angleščini se učimo o pisateljih in učiteljica mi je rekla, da vam moram pisati.« Tudi ta mi laskajo, a ne na povsem enak način. U Če mi postavijo kakšno vprašanje, je to skoraj brez izjeme: »Od kod vam ideje za knjige?« In če mu sledi še eno, se ponavadi glasi: »Katera je vaša najljubša barva?« Zdi se mi, da ne znam odgovoriti na nobeno od njiju. KOT Najboljše vprašanje, ki sem ga kdaj prejel, mi je postavil fant, ki ga je zanimalo, ali veliko črtam. Pojasnil sem mu, da je moje delo pravzaprav USPEŠNICA sestavljeno iz črtanja in da je črtanje ključ do vsake dobre knjige. 011 Pred tremi leti sem napisal roman Skrivnostni primer ali Kdo je umoril Zato ni prav presenetljivo, da bi mladinski pisatelji nekatere ljudi najraje psa, ki se dogaja v Swindonu in pripoveduje o najstniku z aspergerjevim treščili po glavi s trdo vezano izdajo Vetra v vrbju. sindromom, ki na sosedovi trati odkrije umorjenega kodra. Istočasno je izšel z dvema različnima naslovnicama, eno za odrasle in eno za Toda resnica je dejansko bolj zapletena: pisanje za otroke je drugačno najstnike. Še vedno ne morem verjeti, da se je kot kakšen izrazito nalezljiv od pisanja za odrasle. izpuščaj razširil po vsem svetu. Seveda se med knjižico Kje je Piki? in Gospo Dalloway nekaj spremeni. In V nekaterih pogledih mi je povsem spremenil življenje. V drugih pa se ni ne gre samo za to, da postanejo bralci večji in neredko tudi bolj kosmati. zame spremenilo prav nič. Skoraj vsak novinar me vpraša: »Od kod vam ideja za knjigo?« In ker protagonist romana ne prenaša rumene in rjave, Niti ne gre za to, da je samo pisanje zahtevnejše. Napisati (kaj šele me marsikdo pobara: »Katera je vaša najljubša barva?« Kar ni vprašanje, ilustrirati) slikanico je vražje težko. Pri pisanju Morja spokojnosti (The Sea ki bi prav pogosto doletelo, denimo, Monico Ali ali Jonathana Franzna. of Tranquility) sem porabil več kot dve leti in vsaj petdeset verzij, da sem petdeset tisoč besed oklestil na obvladljivih petsto. Kar se mi zdi pošteno. Naslednje vprašanje, na katerega odgovarjam vsaj enkrat na teden, pa Če je neka slikanica otrokom všeč, jo bodo prebrali vsaj petdesetkrat je: »Kakšna je razlika med pisanjem za otroke in tistim za odrasle?« in njihovi starši z njimi. In če nekaj tolikokrat prebereš, te začne vsaka najmanjša napakica žuliti kot pesek v postelji. Ponavadi med obema potegnem enačaj. Nobene prave razlike ni. Pisati za otroke je strašansko zahtevno; knjige za otroke so prav tako zapletene Poznam sicer nekaj pisateljev, ki so besedila zelo priljubljenih slikanic kot tiste za odrasle in si zato zaslužijo enako spoštovanje. napisali v uri nebrzdanega navdiha, toda vsem drugim je to zgolj opomin, kako zoprno izmuzljiva je skrivnost dobre otroške knjige. Zakaj so, na Večina pisateljev, ki piše za mladino, odgovarja enako. In to upravičeno. primer, knjižice Rogerja Hargreavesa tako neverjetno učinkovite, čeprav Čeprav so Njegovo temno tvar Philipa Pullmana uprizorili v londonskem so videti, kot bi jih s starimi flomastri na hitro načečkal fantek, ki se mu je National Theatre, čeprav je Jacqueline Wilson kraljica knjižnične izposoje mudilo z domačo nalogo? in čeprav Bradavičarka še zmeraj slovi po vsem svetu, pisanje za mladino mnogi še vedno umeščajo nekam med poročanje za lokalni časopis in Ne gre niti za razliko v obravnavanih temah. Dandanes imamo na voljo slikanje akvarelov mačk. odlične knjige za malčke o seksu in kup romanov za najstnike – mnoge med njimi je napisal Melvin Burgess –, ob katerih gredo staršem kar lasje Kmalu po tem, ko je Skrivnostni primer dobil nagrado Whitbread, so v pokonci. neki kolumni Timesove literarne priloge zapisali, da gre za še en korak v smeri »vsesplošnega pootročenja«. 013 Ne gre za razliko med dvema knjigama ali med dvema bralcema.

Še eno vprašanje, ki mi ga zadnja leta redno postavljajo, se nanaša na zglede, o katerih sem razmišljal med pisanjem Skrivnostnega primera. Je Pri dvajsetih, petindvajsetih ali tridesetih se začnemo zavedati, da je bil to roman Če ubiješ oponašalca? Ali nemara Varuh v rži? možnosti za beg čedalje manj.

    Reading Groups Collection Multiple-Copy Titles Available for Loan Master list revised May 2019 Susan ABULHAWA - Mornings in Jenin (2011, 352 pages) Palestine, 1948. A mother clutches her six-month-old son as Israeli soldiers march through the village of Ein Hod. In a split second, her son is snatched from her arms and the fate of the Abulheja family is changed forever. Forced into a refugee camp in Jenin , the family struggles to rebuild their world. Their stories unfold through the eyes of the youngest sibling, Amal, the daughter born in the camp who will eventually find herself alone in the United States; the eldest son who loses everything in the struggle for freedom; the stolen son who grows up as an Israeli, becoming an enemy soldier to his own brother. Mornings in Jenin is a novel of love and loss, war and oppression, and heartbreak and hope, spanning five countries and four generations of one of the most intractable conflicts of our lifetime. Ayobami ADEBAYO - Stay with me (2017, 298 pages) Yejide is hoping for a miracle, for a child. It is all her husband wants, all her mother-in-law wants, and she has tried everything - arduous pilgrimages, medical consultations, dances with prophets, appeals to God. But when her in- laws insist upon a new wife, it is too much for Yejide to bear. It will lead to jealousy, betrayal and despair. Unravelling against the social and political turbulence of '80s Nigeria, Stay with Me sings with the voices, colours, joys and fears of its surroundings. Ayobami Adebayo weaves a devastating story of the fragility of married love, the undoing of family, the wretchedness of grief and the all-consuming bonds of motherhood.

    Press release: 30th January Portraits: a forthcoming exhibition in Oxford’s Jam Factory by novelist Mark Haddon and painter Tom Croft. Oxford’s Mark Haddon is internationally known for his award-winning book The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night Time, a series of other popular novels and a more recent foray into short stories The Pier Falls. He is also a talented artist, painter and print-maker and throughout March he is co-presenting an exhibitions of portraits in The Jam Factory Art centre, Oxford alongside acclaimed portraitist Tom Croft who lives in Wolvercote and with whom he became friends at the school gates as they collected their respective children. Whereas Croft’s work is ‘painterly’ with passionate brush strokes in bold colourful oils to capture a person’s spirit and bring the face alive, Haddon’s portraits appear more measured and precise giving both a representation of the person and clues to the life they lead. ‘I’ve never been commissioned to paint or draw a portrait,’ says Mark, ‘I simply choose people and ask them if they’d mind, and then I give them the portrait, or a print of it, if they like it. I choose my subjects because I like the person, I like their work and I like their face, or some combination of those things: some are friends and others are people I’ve approached out of the blue.’ Alongside artists, academics, family members and everyday people who have mattered to him, the show includes portraits of eight writers, including novelists Sunetra Gupta and Molly McGrann, two poets, Summertown’s acclaimed children’s author Ted Dewan and Simon Stephens, the playwright who adapted The Curious Dog for stage and so it’s the perfect diversion for visitors to Oxford’s Literary Festival.
