Story
ぼくはここ1年半ほど、初の長編小説となる物語をコツコツと書いてきました。ここまで13万字とちょっと書いたかな。大体24万字ぐらいで終わるとなんとなく思うので、今ちょうど半分ぐらいのところまで来ているということです。 舞台は1964年の横浜です。 きっとこのメルマガを読んでいる人の多くが1964年にはまだ生まれていなかったと思うんだけど、ぼくは1948年の9月生まれなので、1964年は15歳から16歳という年齢でした。 そしてこの小説の主人公、JJ勝谷も15歳の少年。横浜の山手にあるカトリック系の男子校に通う高校一年生。彼は酒もタバコもやる、いわゆる悪ガキですが、本を読むのが大好きで、暖かい家族にも友達にも恵まれています。そんな彼はある夜、ダンスパーティで21歳の魔性の女に出会い. . .という感じでスタートする青春小説です。 このメルマガで連載していくので是非読んでみて下さい。(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

Story
みなさんは先日のアカデミー賞の授賞式の模様、テレビで観ましたか? ぼくとしては、去年観た映画の中で一番気に入っているジョージ・ミラー監督の『マッドマックス 怒りのデスロード』が衣装やプロダクション・デザイン、ヘア&メーキャップや編集や録音などの賞を次々と受賞し、今年観た映画の中でダントツにすごいと思ったアレハンドロ・ゴンサレス・イニャリトゥ監督の『レヴェナント 蘇りし者』が主演男優賞(レオナルド・ディカプリオ)と監督賞を受賞したので、個人的に嬉しかったです。 イニャリトゥ監督とは、彼が『バベル』のプロモーションで来日した時に会ってインタビューしました。彼もラジオのDJとしてキャリアをスタートさせたこともあり、話が盛り上がりました。自分は情熱的過ぎる性格で、時として物事に取り憑かれることがあるので困る、と言っていましたが、軽やかなウィットと自嘲的なユーモアのセンスでうまくバランスを取っている人だなと思いました。(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

Story
先日、古い友人がアメリカからぼくを訪ねて来ました。マイケル・スタマティオス・クラーク、71歳。ギリシャ系のアメリカ人で、昔から大学で文学や英語を教えている教師です。なんと、43年ぶりの再会でした。 彼に初めて会ったのは1973年のバリ島。放浪の旅に出たぼくとぼくの当時の妻のゲイルはバリ島のウブゥドという山間の町に暮らしていました。町と言っても当時のウブゥドは電気も水道も通っていない、村に毛が生えたようなところ。ぼくたちはこの村の中央付近にある「チャンデリーズ・ホームステイ」という民宿に泊まっていました。(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

Story
歴史的な観点から見ても、作家という職業は他のどんな職業よりも(ま、ジャズ・ミュージシャンやロックンローラーという強力なライバルもいますけど)、酒と密接な関係を保ってきました。なぜなのか? 酒はものを書く潤滑油だから。人間の情念や苦悩や心の闇と対峙していると、酒なしではやってられなくなるから。言葉を無から絞り出す作業そのものがきついから。編集者がやたらタダ酒を飲ますから。作家はバーやクラブで人気者だから。酒は物書きの美学だから。そもそも作家になるような人は酒なしではやってられないほど心に傷を負っているから……とまあ、いろいろな理由が挙げられてきたし、個人によってもまちまちだと思います。でも、とにかく、日本でも海外でも、酒好きの作家が多い、というのは事実です。(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

最近はシェアハウスに住んでいる人が多くなったので、今日はシェアハウスを舞台にした作品を紹介しますね。 映画を観ていて、ああ、青春時代が懐かしいな、ちょっとだけでいいからあの時代に戻りたいな、と思うことがあります。フランスのセドリック・クラピッシュが監督と脚本を手掛けた2002年の『スパニッシュ・アパートメント』はまさにそんな思いを強く抱かせてくれる作品です。 主人公のグザヴィエ(ロマン・デュリス)はパリで暮らす25歳の大学生。卒業を間近に控えた彼の一大関心事は就職。幼い頃は作家に憧れていましたが、今は安定性を重視し、父親の友人である高級官僚の勧めに従って、スペイン語を習い、外交官を目指すことを決意。恋人と別れ、バルセロナの語学学校へ留学します。(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

ジョアン・チェンと初めて会ったのはカリフォルニアのハリウッドのクラブでした。 ご存知の方も多いと思いますが、ジョアン・チェンはベルナルド・ベルトルッ チの『ラスト・エンペラー』やデヴィッド・リンチの『ツインピークス』などに 出演した中国系の女優です。 ぼくはカリフォルニアには柳町光男監督、ジョン・ローン主演の日米合作映画 『チャイナ・シャドー』のアフレコのために来ていました。仕事の合間、たまた まロスに来ていたオーストラリア時代の親友で映画監督のフィリップ・ノイスと 合流し、彼の案内でハリウッドのクラブへ行き、そこでジョアン・チェンに紹介 されたのです。 ジョアンとは初めからいい感じに息が合いました。ぼくたちは軽い冗談を言い 合い、映画製作の苦労話などで盛り上がりました。そしてそのあと、フロアに出 て、2、3曲踊りました。(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

ボブ・ディランの歌を初めて耳にしたのはたしか1964年の春だったと思います。 横浜のセント・ジョセフ・カレッジに通っていたぼくは放課後、遊び仲間たち と元町のシェルブルーというレストランでハンバーガーを食べながら何かの話で 盛り上がっていました。それは、出たばかりのローリング・ストーンズのアルバ ム『ザ・ローリング・ストーンズ』についてだったかもしれないし、土曜日に YCAC(横浜カントリー・アンド・アスレティックス・クラブ)で開催されるダンス パーティの話だったかもしれないし、だれかのガールフレンドの話題だったかも しれません。何はともあれ、ぼくたちはコークを飲み、ハンバーガーを頬張り、 取り留めのない話に花を咲かせていました。 (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

Story
フランスの哲学者ルネ・デカルトはこんな言葉を残しています。 「旅とは、異なる世紀の人々と言葉を交わすことに近い体験である」。 つまり世界は違う人種、言語、文化だけではなく、違う時代の国々から成り立っ ている……ということです。まあ、これはフランス人のデカルトが諸外国を旅し ながら、フランスは近代国家だけど、よその国の多くは時代的に遅れているよなっ ていう、上から目線的な発言、と言えなくもないんですが、でも世界を旅してい るとデカルトが言わんとしていることがとても良くわかる気がします。 例えばぼくは1967年にアフガニスタンを訪れ、西のヘラートから南のカンダハー ルを経由して首都のカブールまでジープで縦断。カブールには数日滞在しました けど、この街はアラビアン・ナイトの世界そのものでした。(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

Story
最近、この映画をもう一度DVDで観る機会があったので、今日はこの作品について書こうと思います。 コロンビアの文豪、ガブリエル・ガルシア・マルケスの文学をマジック・リアリズムと呼びますが、この映画はまさに、我々をマルケスの魔法の世界へと誘ってくれます。 これは狂った男の愛の物語としても取れるし、ある男の狂った愛の物語としても取れます。どちらにせよ、これは南米でしか生まれないような、熱い愛の悲喜劇です。 舞台は内戦とコレラが蔓延するコロンビアのカリブ海沿いの港町、カルタヘナ。時は1879年。裕福な商人の娘フェルミーナに一目惚れした若くて貧しい電報配達員フロレンティーノは、何通もの情熱的な恋文で彼女のハートを掴み、結婚の約束まで勝ち取ります。しかし、貧しいフロレンティーノを嫌った彼女の父親は二人を引き裂こうと、娘を遠く離れた親戚の家に隔離してしまいます。(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

The Bobiverse is a different place in the aftermath of the Starfleet War, and the days of the Bobs gathering in one big happy moot are far behind. There’s anti-Bob sentiment on multiple planets, the Skippies playing with an AI time bomb, and multiple Bobs just wanting to get away from it all. But it all pales compared to what Icarus and Daedalus discover on their 26,000-year journey to the center of the galaxy.

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.

Story
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.
