Tar-sgr矛obhadh: Sr貌n ann an Leabhar: Lisa Storey
LISA: Is mise Lisa Storey 脿 Bhatarsaigh. Bha leabhraichean a鈥 c貌rdadh riumsa gu m貌r, on a bha mi gl猫 貌g. Tha cuimhn鈥 a鈥檓 mo mh脿thair ag r脿dh rium turas no dh脿:
鈥淐arson a tha thu a-staigh an sin 鈥檚 do cheann ann an leabhar fad an latha, an 脿ite bhith muigh air feadh nan cnoc?鈥
Uill, bu mhath a b鈥 fhiach na cnuic is na tr脿ghannan is a鈥 mhuir a bha mun cuairt ormsa ann a Bhatarsaigh a bhith gan siubhal ceart gu le貌r. 鈥橲 bha mi d猫anamh sin cuideachd c貌mhla ri m鈥 cho-aoisean. Ach bha fhathast leabhraichean nan t脿ladh m貌r. D猫 na leabhraichean ge-t脿?听
Cha robh na h-uiread sin san taigh againne aig an 脿m. Cha robh feadhainn Gh脿idhlig ann co-dhi霉, a bharrachd air leabhar 霉rnaigh.听
Bha br脿ithrean m貌ra agam a bha 脿s an ciall mu westerns, agus th貌isich mise air an fheadhainn sin a leughadh cuideachd. Na prairies, 脿iteachan m矛orbhaileach, nach e?听
Agus leughainn stuth eile a bhithinn a鈥 lorg a bha sgr矛obhte airson clann-nighean, far an robh na caractaran gu tur eadar-dhealaichte bhuamsa 鈥檚 mo cho-aoisean, 鈥檚 iad bho theaghlaichean beartach a bhiodh gan cur gu sgoiltean pr矛obhaideach.听 Mar sin, airson deagh 霉ine, bha leughadh dhomhsa mar dh貌igh air mo thoirt air falbh bho mo stairseach fh猫in a dh鈥櫭爄teachan annasach, am measg dhaoine aig an robh d貌igh-beatha a bha mi a鈥 smaointinn a bha gu math na bu tarraingiche na a鈥 bheatha agamsa.听
Bha e na 矛ongnadh m貌r dhomhsa ma-th脿 nuair a lorg mi sgr矛obhadair a bha a鈥 cleachdadh san sgr矛obhadh chruthachail aigesan, an dearbh she貌rsa coimhearsnachd air an robh mi cho e貌lach. A鈥 mhuir. An t-iasgach. Daoine bochda, a鈥 str矛 ri be貌-shlaint鈥 a dh猫anamh. B鈥 esan Neil Gunn.听
Tar-sgr矛obhadh: Ceum a-mach
D貌mhnall Camshron agus Ceitidh Mhoireach
Ceitidh Mhoireach: Thig thu a-nuas an seo is tha thu a鈥 coimhead timcheall, is tha thu ag r脿dh riut fh猫in, 鈥淒猫 tha ri fhaicinn an seo?鈥
Tha feur caran fada curs ann 's tha preasan ann 's tha craobhan ann, 鈥檚 ch矛 thu beagan sealladh ach tha thu ag r脿dh riut fh猫in, 鈥淐han eil c脿il ann a tha cho uabhasach tarraingeach.鈥
Ach fuirich thusa a Dh貌mhnaill gus an lean sinn oirnn gu mullach a鈥 chnuic ann a sheo, Cnoc Srath Gaoithe, tha e coltach.
D貌mhnall: Cnoc Srath Gaoithe, sa Bheurla, Blackford, agus mach leinn 鈥 tha mi air bhioran a-nist鈥, tha thu air mo chur a dhol...
Ceitidh: (gl猫 mhath, tha mi 鈥榥 d貌chas nach bi thu...)
D貌mhnall: Thig an taobh seo...
Ceitidh: (... a鈥 faireachdainn caran diombach 脿s, ach chan eil mi an d霉il gum bi!)
D貌mhnall: O cha bhi, cha bhi, cha bhi! O tha a h-uile creideas agam unnad!
Ceitidh: O uill!
D貌mhnall: ...agus gum faic sinn na seallaidhean a tha thu a鈥 gealltainn, gun teagamh. Deagh latha ann, tha i...
Ceitidh: Chan eil an droch latha ann idir ...
D貌mhnall: Chan eil...
Ceitidh: Tha i caran 霉r, agus tha i d矛reach ... tha togail innte.
D貌mhnall: Tha, suarach cho bl脿th 鈥檚 a tha i, feumaidh mi r脿dh, suarach cho bl脿th 鈥檚 a tha i ach 鈥檚 d貌cha gun tog i fhathast, ach tha i tioram. Tha seo air fh脿gail gu n脿darrach, cha bhi gearradh sam bith air. Tha e f脿s mar a tha e f脿s...
Ceitidh: Tha, sin agad an se貌rsa feallsanachd a th鈥 ann, tha mi 鈥檔 d霉il. Ach ch矛 thu mar as fhaide air adhart a th猫id sinn gu bheil leasachaidhean a鈥 dol cuideachd. Tha iad a鈥 cumail s霉il air a鈥 cheum son nach t猫id a chosg cus. Bidh iad a鈥 cur l矛on air uachdar, 鈥檚 a鈥 cur s矛ol ann, feuch an gabh e 霉rachadh. Agus tha iad a鈥 d猫anamh leasachaidhean eile a tha a鈥 tighinn a-r猫ir an 脿rainneachd.听
D貌mhnall: Uill gasta, leanaidh sinn oirnn, agus tha mise a鈥 d猫anamh fiughair ri tuilleadh fhaicinn ...
Ceitidh: Tha, ch矛 thu sin...
D貌mhnall: Ch矛 an ceartuair, tha, tha d矛reach...
Ceitidh: Tha, ch矛 thu sin. Tha ceum beag cumhang, rud beag cas a-bhos an seo, 鈥檚 cha chreid mi nach ... d貌cha gun lean sinn suas an siud.
D貌mhnall: Leanaidh sinn suas, bidh sinn faiceallach.
Tar-sgr矛obhadh: An Claigeann aig Damien Hirst
Seachd latha 脿s d猫idh sin, chunnacas sealladh annasach ann an Colla. Th脿inig bhan dhubh th猫arainte agus a-mach aiste th脿inig fear le br猫id geal air a shr貌in. Cha robh duine eile c貌mhla ris. Bha e air na ge脿ird fh脿gail aig an taigh-貌sta. Rinn e cinnteach nach robh duine ga fhaicinn agus rinn e toll ann an 脿ite ris an canadh iad o chionn fhada Bealach na Foille. Chuir e d脿 chuspair gheal san toll. Bha aon a鈥 de脿rrsadh anns a鈥 ghrian. Dh霉in agus dh鈥檉halaich e an toll gu c霉ramach leis na sgrathan.
Ged nach tug e an aire, bha cuideigin ga fhaicinn agus ga choimhead. Bha e na sheasamh tr矛 slatan air a bheulaibh, ach bha an duine a bh鈥 ann gu tur neo-fhaicsinneach. Bha e a鈥 crathadh a chinn.
Dh鈥檉han Slim greis a鈥 smaoineachadh air na rinn e. An robh e a鈥 dol glan 脿s a chiall? Gheibheadh e d貌igh air aon de na claiginn fhaighinn air ais 鈥 aon latha.
No 鈥檚 d貌cha nach fhaigheadh.
