हार्वर्ड में, मुझे जमैका किनकेड से मिलने और उनके साथ रात का खाना खाने का मौका मिला। प्रोफेसरों के साथ सिर्फ बातचीत करना ही अपने आप में अद्भुत था।

At Harvard, I got to meet and have dinner with Jamaica Kincaid. Just to have conversations with professors was absolutely amazing.

मैं चीजों को गहराई से खंगालने वाला इंसान हूँ। मुझे लाइब्रेरी और आर्काइव बहुत पसंद हैं और मेरे पास नेशनल ज्योग्राफिक का एक बहुत बड़ा संग्रह है। मेरे पास ढेर सारी किताबें और रिकॉर्ड्स हैं, और मैं इंटरनेट पर भी काफी सक्रिय रहता हूँ। मुझे लगता है कि रिसर्च करने से बहुत कुछ बाहर निकल कर आता है, और यह आपको उन अलग-थलग चीज़ों को जोड़ने में मदद करता है जो शायद पहली नजर में एक-दूसरे के अनुकूल न लगें। समय के साथ, धैर्य और एकाग्रता से आप उन सबको एक पिरो लेते हैं।

I'm a big researcher. I love libraries and archives and I have a huge National Geographiccollection. I have a good amount of books and records, and I'm on the Internet. I think research yields a lot and can help you pull different discordant works that may not be harmonious. Through time and with patience and focus, you bring them all together.

अमीन रिहानी को पढ़ते-पढ़ते... मैं इतना खो गया कि मुझे अपने पूर्वाग्रहों का भी होश नहीं रहा... और न ही इस बात की ईर्ष्या रही कि रिहानी साहब को अरब के उन दूर-दराज के इलाकों में जाने की अनुमति क्यों मिली जो दूसरों के लिए वर्जित थे।

सच कहें तो, मैं दुनिया भर के दर्शकों से हमेशा कहती हूँ कि "टू किल ए मॉकअबर्ड" के छपने के बाद अमेरिकी संस्कृति का सबसे बड़ा प्रतीक वह उपन्यास खुद बन गया है। इसलिए अगर हम यह पूछें कि कौन सी ऐसी बातचीत है जो हमें सहनशीलता के रास्ते पर ले जा सकती है, तो अमेरिकी स्कूलों के शिक्षकों ने यह तय किया है कि अगर अमेरिका के किसी स्कूल में मूल्य सिखाने हैं, तो हर तरह के स्कूलों के शिक्षकों ने इसका यही जवाब निकाला है कि बस हार्पर ली की "टू किल ए मॉकअबर्ड" पढ़ाने के लिए रख दो। फिर शिक्षक को सिर्फ पीछे खड़े रहकर उस चर्चा का मार्गदर्शन करना होता है।

As a matter of fact, I constantly tell audiences all over the world that the single greatest icon of American culture from the publication of "To Kill A Mockingbird" was that novel so that if we say, what conversation can we have that would lead us on a road of tolerance, and teachers have decided that if you're going to teach values in a school in America, the answer that American teachers at all kinds of schools have come up with, just let Harper Lee teach "To Kill A Mockingbird." And then all the teacher has to do is stand back and guide the discussion.

मैं शेक्सपियर को दुनिया का सबसे महान नाटकीय कवि मानता हूँ, लेकिन इस बात का अफसोस है कि कोई भी माता-पिता इस किताब को बिना संशोधित किए अपनी बेटी के हाथों में नहीं सौंप सकते, इसलिए मैंने 'फैमिली शेक्सपियर' तैयार किया है।

लोग कहते हैं कि आप किसी फिल्म या किताब से लोगों की सोच नहीं बदल सकते, पर उनकी सोच बनती कैसे है? वे जो देखते और पढ़ते हैं, उसी से बनती हैं। एक तरह से, फिल्में अपने समय से आगे होती हैं। लोग उन्हें बनाते हैं और वास्तव में नहीं जानते कि दर्शक उन पर कैसी प्रतिक्रिया देंगे। कभी-कभी, वे दे देते हैं।

बेशक, बच्चे वही पढ़ना चाहते हैं जो इस समय चर्चा में हो, और ज़ाहिर है कि वे फंतासी और किसी भी तरह का काल्पनिक साहित्य पढ़ना पसंद करते हैं, लेकिन उन्हें ऐसी कहानियाँ पढ़ना भी पसंद है जिनमें उनके जैसे दिखने वाले बच्चे हों, जिनकी समस्याएँ उन्हीं जैसी हों। और मैंने गौर किया है कि वे खासतौर पर यह देखना चाहते हैं कि वे पात्र हर मुश्किल से पार पाकर जीत हासिल करें। इसलिए वे साफ़-सुथरी या कृत्रिम परिस्थितियाँ नहीं चाहते। वे कहानियों को कच्चा और यथार्थवादी देखना चाहते हैं, लेकिन वे कहानी के अंत में उम्मीद की किरण भी देखना चाहते हैं।

Sure, kids want to read whatever is the hot book, and of course they want to read fantasy and any kind of speculative fiction, but they also like to read stories with kids that look just like them, that have the same problems as them. And I've noticed that what they particularly want to see is to see those characters prevail. So they don't want sanitized situations. They want stories to be raw, they want them to be gritty, but they also do want to see the hope at the end of the story.

जब मैं किसी नाम या जगह का इस्तेमाल करता हूँ, तो मैं पाठक को उस निश्चितता के सैलाब के सामने खुला छोड़ देना चाहता हूँ जो वह पैदा कर सकता है। और मैं नहीं जानता, लेकिन मुझे बोरखेस (Borges) का नाम लेना ही होगा। मैं अपनी हर कृति में इसका जिक्र करने की कोशिश करता हूँ। यह एक निशान है, एक मुहर है, 'अर्जेंटीना की पहचान' (Argentinidad) को एक प्रकार की श्रद्धांजलि है। लेकिन यह एक ऐसी श्रद्धांजलि है जो घिसे-पिटे वाक्यांशों, उसकी रचनाओं में बसने वाली उन रूढ़ छवियों के माध्यम से काम करती है: रात, भूलभुलैया, पुस्तकालय। यानी, मैं सिर्फ बोरखेस को श्रद्धांजलि नहीं देना चाहता, बल्कि इसके विपरीत: उनके सामान्य विचारों को याद करना चाहता हूँ।

When I use a name or place, I want to leave the reader open to the waterfall of determinacy that it may provoke. And I don't know, but I must mention the name Borges. I try to mention it in every one of my works. It's a mark, a stamp, a sort of homage to Argentinidad. But it's an homage that works through pat phrases, those stock images that populate his work: the night, labyrinths, libraries. That is, I don't want simply to pay homage to Borges, but rather the contrary: to recall his commonplaces.

मुझे लगता है कि दरअसल चित्र कथाओं (picture books) और बाल कथाओं का लयबद्ध होना बच्चों को भाषा से प्यार करने, आप उसके साथ क्या कर सकते हैं और वह आपके दायरे में कैसी सुनाई देती है, यह सिखाने का एक तरीका है। इसमें एक तरह का संगीत होता है, लेकिन दूसरी तरफ उन्हें कहानी, विचार और उसका संदर्भ भी मिल जाता है। मुझे लगता है कि यह बच्चों को इसमें शामिल करने का एक तरीका है और मैं यह भी मानता हूँ कि जब बच्चे ऐसे लोगों के आसपास रहते हैं जिन्हें किताबें पसंद हैं, तो उन पर भी उसका असर पड़ता है।

I think that actually the rhythmic nature of picture books and of young reader story books is a way to help kids fall in love with language and what you can do with it and how it sounds in your range.

I think it's a way to get kids into it and I also think that when kids are around people who love books it rubs off on them.
