Jim Crace Zitate

My dad didn't have a formal education, but he had a wonderful vocabulary. So in 'Harvest,' I wanted my main character to be an innately intelligent man who would have the vocabulary to say whatever he wanted in the same way as lots of working-class people can.

Mein Vater hatte keine formale Ausbildung, aber er hatte ein wunderbares Vokabular. Also wollte ich in 'Harvest', dass meine Hauptfigur ein von Natur aus intelligenter Mann ist, der das Vokabular haben könnte, um zu sagen, was er will, genauso wie es viele Arbeiter der Arbeiterklasse können.

The working-class Africans are not doing very well, and one of the problems is their education is so shocking. It is routinely said it is a result of apartheid. Deliberately, black people were not allowed to know too much. They could read and write a bit to be useful, but that's about it.

Sharpe is my favorite role of all that I've played. He's a very complex character. He knows that he's a good soldier, but he will always have to fight the prejudice of aristocratic officers because of his rough working-class upbringing. On the battlefield, he's full of confidence - but off it, he is unsure, a bit shy and ill at ease.
