John Cage has been described as the most important composer of our time. He combined classical European training with Eastern spirituality to produce an American amalgam of such vitality and originality that it continues to define what we mean by avant-garde.

ぼくは60年代に青春を送った人間で、ヒッピーでもあったので、若い友人やファ ンから「SIXTIESってどんな時代だったんですか？」みたいなことをよく聞かれま す。ぼくはその都度、ぼくなりの60年代感とか、思い出、印象を語るようにして はいるんですけど、ひとつの時代、特に60年代みたいな激動の時代を説明したり 描写したりするのは本当に難しいです。 　当時流行っていた音楽のこととか、ファッションとか、ヘアスタイルだとか、 学生運動とか、ベトナム反戦運動とか、ウッドストックとか、そういう具体的な ことについては話せるんですけど、60年代には、 ぼくが体感した限りですけど、 他の時代にはなかった……なんて言うのかな……何かが大きく変わろうとしてい るんだ、そして変えていくのは我々若者なんだっていうワクワク感、ドキドキ感 のようなものが大気に流れていて、これを言葉で表現するのはほとんど不可能に 近いんですよね。（本文より） ロバート・ハリス　運命のダイスを転がせ！ はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/robert.html

ＳＮＳが大嫌いだった。 自分のプライベートなんか不特定多数の人と共有して楽しいのかな。 いいたいことなら、作家の場合エッセイや小説で好きなように書ける。しかもちゃんと原稿料も支払われるのだ。ＳＮＳなんてやってられないよ。そんなふうに思っていた。 ところが去年の春にツイッターを始めて、自分でも意外なほどはまってしまった。140字という短文のなかに、あるアイディアや視点をぎゅっと凝縮して、思いついた瞬間に書きとめる。それをほぼ同時に、世のなかに広く問えるのだ。これは実際にやってみると、実におもしろいものだった。そのときのトピックに反対したり、ひとひねりして肯定したり、自分の考えが揺れたりするのがまた興味深い。（本文より） 石田衣良ブックトーク『小説家と過ごす日曜日』はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/ishidaira.html

拙著『本多猪四郎（ほんだ いしろう）　無冠の巨匠』の中の怪獣映画論でも言及したが、巨大な白いマッコウクジラ「モビイ・ディック」と人間たちの戦いが描かれる、1851年に書かれたハーマン・メルヴィルの小説『白鯨』は、怪獣映画史的にも重要な作品である。 非常に長部（ちょうぶ）であり、鯨の生態学的な記述や捕鯨技術の詳細がえんえんと続き、メインの人物が登場するのは読み始めてかなり経ってから……というこの小説は、一般には読みにくいものとして多くの読者を持てなかったが、実は映画化され、巨大なクジラが観客にイメージ出来るようになったことで、広く知られるようになったのだ。 文明史家、作家の原田実は著書『怪獣のいる精神史』において、これを、巨大生物の描写に映画という「動く視覚表現」が追いついた記録だとしている。(本文より）切通理作の「映画の友よ」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/risaku.html
