Interviewer The person(s) performing the interview Kaylee Hartigan-Go Interviewee The person(s) being interviewed Catherine Hartigan-Go Location The location of the interview Manila, Philippines Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Kaylee: Segueing from that, do you think making Noli required reading in high schools affects how — and even the part about learning this history early on — do you think it affects how students perceive this novel when we finally get around to studying it? Catherine: [0:20] Well, as any student, if you're faced with a textbook, it's required reading. You're not going to have any fun doing it, right? But I remember afterwards, I did — I was curious enough to reread it in a different language, in English now. Because at that time, the first time I read it, it was in Filipino. And then I decided to read it in a translated version of English. Of course, the Filipino itself is a translation already, it was originally in Spanish. But — I don’t know. As a student, if you're faced with a textbook, you just think, ‘Okay, this is required reading. You just slog through it, it's homework.’ But I do recall when I read it in English, that it was for me a revelation. Even though I did know the story, it was — it had a different impact on me, reading it for entertainment and for my own curiosity. Reading it as a textbook — you learned it, you understood the story, but there's another reason that you're reading it. It's not just for fun. It's not just for, ‘Okay, I just want to know what this book is about.’ It's one of those things that after you finish reading it in school, you just leave it behind for the teacher and move on to the next textbook that you have to read.
