KATHA KATHANACHI KATHA

‘कथाकथनात विश्रांती नसते. श्रोत्यांना एक क्षणही रिकामं ठेवता येत नाही. कथेत घडणारे प्रसंग, भेटणाऱ्या व्यक्ती, श्रोत्यांप्रमाणेच कथाकथनकारालाही त्याच क्षणी भेटत असल्याचा भास निर्माण करावा लागतो.’ कथा परिणामकारकतेनं कथन करता येणं ही एक कला आहे. ही कला एखाद्या व्रतासारखी जोपासताना आलेल्या अनुभवांचं कथन म्हणजेच कथाकथनाची कथा. या अनुभवांवरील वपुंचं मार्मिक विश्लेषणही लाजवाब आहे.

  Story telling a non-stop process; one cannot take a pause in between. The Story-teller has to keep the spectators busy throughout. He has to create an atmosphere for them, so truly that they should feel the existence of the characters and incidents appearing or happening in front of them; and while doing so, the story-teller has to diplomatically act as if he is meeting the people or witnessing the experiences for the first time. He should never lose the freshness in it. Story-telling is an art. It has to be effective, narrative and flowing. This art has to be practiced very well. This present book reveals the history of this art along with explanations and analysis by the author himself.
