http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201304/201304190709164259023.mp3This film is called "Fat Man on a Beach". It was first broadcast for HTV in 1974. But this particular fat man was BS Johnson, one of the most innovative stylists in post-war British writing, and author of "The Unfortunates", the 1969 novel, presented in a box from which most of the chapters could be read in any order the reader chose. Underappreciated in his own lifetime, Johnson committed suicide 40 years ago. But his standing has been raised in recent years by literary fans including the novelist Jonathan Coe, who wrote a biography of Johnson in 2004. But Johnson didn't just write. He also made films, many of them as experimental and subversive as his writing. And the British Film Institute has now re-issued them as a complete DVD set. They range from a nine-minute monologue spoken in an imaginary language by a naked man, via a biography of Samuel Johnson to a slapstick farce protesting against Ted Heath's industrial policy. Radio 3's very own Ian McMillan has always been an admirer of Johnson and he's down the line in Leeds and with me here is literary critic Julia Jordan of Cardiff University.
Julia, the term experimental cultural writer is always used about BS Johnson. Could you just tell us what does that mean?
Sure. Well, the first thing to say is that BS Johnson hated the word experimental. He said that it was almost always a synonym for unsuccessful. And he did his experiments in private. And the things that he published were certainly not experiments.这部电影名叫《海滩上的脂肪男》,是1974在美国HTV首播的。但是这位别具特色的脂肪男叫约翰逊,他是战后英国写作圈最有创新性的文体家之一,也是《不幸者》的作者。《不幸者》是1969年的一部小说,后来推上电视荧屏,这部小说的大部分章节都可以按照读者的意愿任意选择章节顺序来阅读。约翰逊终其一生怀才不遇,40年前他自杀身亡。但是近几年来他受到包括小说家乔纳森•科在内的文学粉丝的追捧,地位攀升。乔纳森•科在2004年写过一部约翰逊传记。但是约翰逊不仅仅写作,他也拍电影。他的很多电影一如其写作风格,充满实验性和颠覆性。英国电影学院现在用一部完整的DVD集重新发布了他的电影。这些电影包括一个九分钟的独白,该独白通过塞缪尔•约翰逊的传记形式由一位裸替男人用一种虚构的语言陈述的,电影还包括一个针锋相对地反抗爱德华·希斯的企业政策的一部打闹剧。
英国Radio3的当家主播伊恩•麦克米伦一直以来对约翰逊敬仰有加,他现在人在利兹。现在来到我们演播室的是卡迪夫大学的文学评论家朱莉娅•约旦。
朱莉娅,“实验文化作家”这个术语一直以来都是用在约翰逊身上,您能向我们介绍一下到底是什么意思吗?
当然。首先要说的是,约翰逊讨厌“实验”这个词,他表示“实验”就是“不成功”的代名词。他私底下进行实验,可他所发表的东西明显不是实验性作品。
