Send us a text4X4X3: WILLIAM WYLER CONCLUSION: THE COLLECTORTGTPTU wraps its third director of Season 13's 4x4 with a discussion of a fourth and final William Wyler film THE COLLECTOR (1965). Like The Big Country, its paired film from last week, The Collector began as a book, this one penned by John Fowles, author whose adapted novel The French Lieutenant's Woman was covered by TGTPTU during our Meryl Streep season. The Collector was Fowles' first published book, and Wyler took liberties with its epistolary structure to refocus the movie as, mentioned later below, a “love story.” And like last week's western picture, The Collector is shot in glorious color, interestingly unlike Wyler's preceding The Children's Hour (problematic treatment of lesbianism? who knows? not your hosts, not in time for this ep, but maybe TGTPTU's loquacious critic Annabel with offer their opinion on a future ep?) whose black-and-white film stock marked a departure from Wyler's two preceding films The Big Country and Ben-Hur where in the latter someone may have died filming the chariot race and was also a book adaptation.  But as for The Collector, which was very provisional cohost Ryan's ringer of a movie, that is, the one he pitched when he was sandboxing his 4x4 choice of directors because he was sure it would score, our final Wyler film under discussion misses the post leaving the hosts wonder whether it's close enough to count as Wyler-essential (horseshoe puns aren't part of The Collector, just your show note writer's indulgence).  While a dark tale of sexual abduction and obsession, Terrence Stamp--the titular collector of butterflies but also of at least one woman in his dungeon--was told by Wyler that they were secretly shooting a love story and while Wyler utilized his old-Hollywood directing style by shutting out on set the relative novice actress Samantha Eggar in the role of abducted in this two-hander movie (a cast of seemingly four credited actors) so that she would feel the isolation her character locked away lost in the British countryside, the direction and acting can't seem to overcome a rather flat script.  But stay tuned to the end to hear the boys rank their Willies, including from the first movie pairing how they prefer their dicks and for all four flicks hear them consider their manhood as Willy exposes it. Throughout the ep, listen for the tension in Ken's voice as the other three hosts conspire to stretch the recording session into kickoff time with Ryan sharing stories from the streets and country clubs and Thomas striving for an episode parental advisory warning. And laugh alone as the hosts skip right past Ken's allusion to The Sound of Music. Next episode: A very special Clint-mas Ep for the wintertime, then back in the new year with the fourth of our four directors, the Danish Darling also known as Lars von Trier.

This week we speak with Scott Chaskey, a farmer, poet, author, and pioneer of the CSA movement. His latest book, Soil and Spirit, explores our connection and kinship with nature through farming and storytelling. In this wide ranging conversation we explore the history of community supported agriculture (CSA) in North America, the spread of CSA's around the world, land trusts and the concepts of “ownership” and “the commons”, and the many ways in which we are deeply connected with all living things.  Soil And Spirit by Scott Chaskey http://milkweed.org/book/soil-and-spirit  PLEASE make sure to subscribe to the podcast, download our episodes, and rate them!

¡Bienvenidos una semana más a Gabinete de Curiosidades! En este programa os voy a hablar de la novela más famosa del escritor inglés John Fowles, una obra que tiene todos los elementos que más me seducen en literatura: Inglaterra, la época victoriana y la paleontología. En efecto, este no va a ser un análisis al uso de las cualidades y virtudes que convierten a esta novela en un clásico de las letras inglesas del siglo XX, aunque también trataré los elementos más característicos que hacen destacar a esta obra por encima de muchas otras; este libro es solo una excusa para hablar de ciencias naturales y paleontología. Así que preparaos, coged vuestros pantalones de tweed, vuestras chaquetas de franela y vuestros martillos de geólogo porque nos toca explorar los acantilados de Lymes Regis. Recordad que, si os gusta el programa, podéis hacérmelo saber en la cajita de comentarios de Ivoox o en mis redes sociales. Twitter: @Hugodevries11 Bluesky: @GabineteC Goodreads: GabineteC

Lifeforce (aka Space Vampires) is a 1985 science fiction horror film directed by Tobe Hooper, adapted by Dan O'Bannon (writer of Alien!) and Don Jakoby, and starring Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Frank Finlay, Mathilda May, and Patrick Stewart. It also features John Forbes-Robertson as ‘The Minister' The film is based on Colin Wilson's 1976 novel, The Space Vampires. It portrays the events that unfold after a trio of humanoids in a state of suspended animation are brought to Earth after being discovered in the hold of an alien spaceship. This was the first film of Hooper's three-picture deal with Cannon Films, the other two films are the remake of Invaders from Mars and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Prior to Lifeforce, Hooper was originally offered the script for E.T. but turned it down. Spielberg then suggested Hooper direct Poltergeist, a project he had written himself and had planned on directing. he took the job and Spielberg went on directed E.T. (and most people also believe Poltergeist as well) Before Hooper, Michael Winner was offered the Lifeforce director's gig, but it didn't work out. And Billy Idol said he had been offered a lead role as a vampire by Hooper, who had directed the video for "Dancing with Myself", but turned it down due to touring commitments. It has been suggested that this is a remake of Hammer Film Productions' Quatermass and the Pit. In an interview, director Tobe Hooper discussed how Cannon Films gave him $25 million, free rein, and Colin Wilson's book The Space Vampires. Hooper then shares how giddy he was: "I thought I'd go back to my roots and make a 70mm Hammer film." Hooper came up with the idea of using Halley's Comet in the screenplay, rather than the asteroid belt as originally used in the novel, as the comet was going to pass by Earth one year following the film's release. Colin Wilson, the author of the source material, was unhappy with the way the film turned out. He wrote of it, "John Fowles had once told me that the film of The Magus was the worst movie ever made. After seeing Lifeforce I sent him a postcard telling him that I had got one better." According to interviews with Bill Malin, who plays one of the male vampires, the film went over schedule during production. Because of this, some important scenes were never shot, and the film was shut down at one time because the studio had simply run out of money. The film marked the fourth project to feature special effects produced by Academy Award winner John Dykstra. Dykstra who has worked on 38 films including: Star Wars, Star Trek the Motion Picture, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin, Spider-Man 1 and 2, and the last three Tarantino films. His last IMDB credit is a fan man Spiderman film that is getting some heat because of racist slurs used by some of the cast whilst promoting the film. The umbrella-like alien spaceship was modelled after an artichoke, while the miniature London destroyed in the film was actually the remains of Tucktonia, a model village near Christchurch, United Kingdom, that had closed not long before the shooting of the film. The initial Director's cut was 128 minutes long. This is 12 minutes longer than the final version, which had several scenes cut, most of them taking place on the Space Shuttle Churchill. According to an interview he gave on the UK talk show Wogan in 1985, most of Nicholas Ball's performance ended up on the cutting room floor Mathilda May had to learn her lines phonetically, for her audition as Space Girl, because she didn't know any English at the time. She then went on to learn the language during the six months she spent in England on this movie. Patrick Stewart has said several times that Tobe Hooper was his favourite director to work with (which is rather unkind to Jonathan Frakes I thought). Music and SFX provided by https://slip.stream and Audio jungle Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

‘Is there a plot to life?' This week, Sally has been reading Daniel Martin, by John Fowles. Follow her musings as she considers the relationship between the writer's public and private selves, anonymity, and the nature of plot. Daniel Martin, now published by Vintage Classics, is available from all good booksellers. All quoted materials are the property of the Estate of John Fowles. The poem, ‘Burnt Norton' from the Four Quartets, parts of which Sally performed last week at the Oxford Chamber Music Festival, is available to read here: http://www.davidgorman.com/4quartets/1-norton.htm This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen. Special thanks to Andrew Smith, Violet Henderson, Kris Dyer, and Maeve Magnus. Tune in tomorrow for a bonus episode…

Sally starts the podcast with a brief poem by Philip Larkin, a complex poem of springtime, grief, and renewal. The trees all around the boat take Sally's mind back to the horse chestnut tree of her youth, where she and her brother used to play, and which became a companion to her as she started to read books. A hunt for a pack of pesky wasp invaders, headed by an indignant Queen, ends up with Sally pruning the nearby hawthorn and willow trees, in whose branches the neighbourhood water vole has been spotted, and listening to the chirruping of the birds. She turns to a work by novelist John Fowles – who, just like Sally, grew up feeling deeply connected to trees, drawing on them for creative inspiration. Arguing passionately for the importance of preserving nature in its wild state, Fowles felt connected to trees all his life, from the orchards of his childhood to the woodlands of Devon and Dorset. Fowles published his autobiographical book The Tree in 1979, describing nature and writing as interconnected,  “siblings, branches of one tree”.   The book is considered to have created a new genre, “nature-as-memoir”, taken up later by authors including Richard Mabey, who Sally mentions towards the end of the episode. Mabey, born in 1941, is a pioneering nature-and-culture writer, someone who did a huge amount to bring to public attention the networked, social nature of trees, writing books such as Nature Cure and The Ash and The Beech. The interconnected roots of trees, the way they can communicate with and support each other, has also been explored in books such as The Hidden Life of Trees (by Peter Wohlleben). The Trees one of the best known poems by the leading 20th century poet Philip Larkin (1922 to 1985), can be found here: https://poetryarchive.org/poem/trees/ The producer of the podcast is Andrew Smith: https://www.fleetingyearfilms.com The extra voice in this episode is Emma Fielding.

More than anything else, the end matters to the novel reader. Novelists, including Austen and Dickens, sometimes changed their minds about their endings, using these changes of mind to explore how an ending satisfies, or fails to satisfy, our expectations.The lecture will explore the rise of the indeterminate ending, from Henry James on. And it will suggest how an ending can, for worse as well as for better, retrospectively change our experience of a novel.A lecture by John Mullan recorded on 5 April 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/endings-novelGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Anna Keay is a historian who specializes in the cultural heritage of Great Britain. As the director of the Landmark Trust, she has overseen the restoration of numerous historical buildings and monuments, while also serving as a prolific author and commentator on the country's architectural and artistic traditions. Her book, The Restless Republic: Britain Without a Crown, was one of Tyler's top picks for 2022. Tyler sat down with Anna to discuss the most plausible scenario where England could've remained a republic in the 17th century, what Robert Boyle learned from Sir William Petty, why some monarchs build palaces and others don't, how renting from the Landmark Trust compares to Airbnb, how her job changes her views on wealth taxes, why neighborhood architecture has declined, how she'd handle the UK's housing shortage, why giving back the Koh-i-Noor would cause more problems than it solves, why British houses have so little storage, the hardest part about living in an 800-year-old house, her favorite John Fowles book, why we should do more to preserve the Scottish Enlightenment, and more.

Back when he was studying English at UEA, Peter J Conradi had a friend who ran the student literary society, organizing writers to come to Norwich and speak. He went along to a meeting and the speaker there changed the whole course of his life. The writer was Iris Murdoch. She became a friend, and he became – in his words – her “disciple”, and eventually her biographer. And then Peter and his partner, Jim O'Neill, spent eight months caring for Iris at the end of her life, as Alzheimer's took hold – they listened to a lot of music together. Peter has spent his career as an English Professor at the University of Kingston and his biography of Iris Murdoch is not his only book: he's also written about Dostoevsky, John Fowles, and Angus Wilson; about grief, about becoming a Buddhist, and about dogs. In conversation with Michael Berkeley, Peter discusses the extraordinary power Iris Murdoch exerted over all her friends and lovers, and her secretiveness, so that each would be kept in a separate compartment. He remembers how she kept singing and dancing right up to the end. And he reveals his own mental health struggles, and how Buddhism has helped him. Music choices include Strauss, Bartok, Bach, Britten's War Requiem, and the Anthem by Leonard Cohen that contains the famous words “There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.” A Loftus Media production for BBC Radio 3 Produced by Elizabeth Burke

THE FRENCH LIEUTENANT'S WOMAN and OUT OF AFRICA   This week: Two films released four years apart do as much to delineate Streep's meteoric rise to being one of the all-time great film actors as anything. FRENCH LIEUTENANT'S WOMAN (1981) is an adaptation of John Fowles' post-modern 1969 novel, which addresses directly the construction and themes of the "Victorian Novel". In Karel Resz' film of legendary playwright Harold Pinter's screenplay, instead of historical fact checking within the narrative and three different endings, they opt for a meta-narrative of a film shoot romance mirroring the plot of a film-with-the-film called The French Lieutenant's Woman. It's an odd choice we chew on quite a bit. But how is Streep? To be fair, there is a lot going on here and she is playing a character playing a character in a near-parody of old school melodramas and her choices in that are choices made by the modern actress she is also playing. Head spinning. Her performance earned her an Oscar nomination but this is not the Streep we see four short years later. OUT OF AFRICA (1985), directed by Sydney Pollack from a script by Karl Luedtke adapted from the memoir by Isak Dinesen and two Dinesen biographies. It's the story of a wealthy Danish woman going to Africa to live on a coffee farm with her cheating husband. While there she meets individualist ivory hunter (Robert Redford, playing an Englishman with an American accent who embodies the white man's burden of protecting land they conquered from people just like them, much like Kevin Costner in Yellowstone) and falls in love. It's a classic sweeping epic (unfortunately not shot anamorphic as Pollack usually did) that charts ugly bouts of colonization. Streep and Redford do speak to that within the film, but it is generally while doing the things they fear more people will come and do (hunting, treating the natives like second class citizens, getting in fights with other white imperialists, driving big cars over the Savanna, etc). It's tough to take at points but the sweep, the romance, the music and the performances can make you squint enough to get a ton of value out of it as an old school Hollywood melodrama. In particular, Streep's performance. As in Sophie's Choice, she is clearly completely in control of her character and with full knowledge of how the camera captures her performance. She is nearly flawless. Pairing this with French Lieutenant's Woman was a brilliant idea to illustrate where and how someone makes the jump from good to great to GOAT. She did not win Best Actress this year because Hollywood was already tiring of her brilliant performances year after year, however. That perception would lead to Streep's turn to comedy later in the decade with the execrable She-Devil. Ken. Thomas and Andi will tell you all about both films. It's a must-listen for any fan of Streep.

Great stories often start with a trigger. One persistent image, a childhood memory, a family story, or a phone conversation you overhear on  the train ride to work. In this episode, we'll explore story triggers: what they are, where they come, how to tap into your own triggers, and select which ones are worthy of expanding into a story. You'll learn about the triggers that gave rise to stories and novels by Hemingway, John Fowles, Joan Didion, and Joyce Carol Oates. And you'll get exercises to help you spark your own powerful stories. Episode WebsiteWant to join a community of like-minded writers? Need inspiration and support?

Hey Campers, get away from that parachute and over to the fire, we got some stories to tell. This week we tell you Part 1. of the horrible life and crimes of Robert Berdella the man who only sought to collect the things and people he needed power over. We also tell you about the strange sky diving incidents that sound like miracles than incidents.

"El coleccionista" es la ópera prima de John Fowles, en la que se basó William Wyler para su película, que lleva el mismo nombre. Pero esta novela no solo inspiró a otros artistas, también lo hizo a asesinos. Leonard Lake estaba obsesionado con el fin del mundo y dispuesto a que a él le pillara preparado: se construyó un bunker, lo abasteció de víveres y le añadió una celda para albergar a sus propias esclavas sexuales, a partir de mujeres a las que secuestraba, torturaba, violaba y asesinaba cuando se cansaba de ellas. A toda esta macabra producción la llamo Operación Miranda, y la compartió con su cómplice Charles Ng.

Daniel talked about a video to help pronounce "Diego Garcian" and it reminded me of this youtube channelYouTube channel launched on April 14th, 2010 with a video instructing viewers how to pronounce ASUS. It continued for years with normal engilsh words, but also did names and brands like Baal, Tutankhamun, Ke$$ha.Some videos gained more notariety, because of the subtle comedy or oddity. in 2012 * The video "How to pronounce GIF" followed the typical format, but substituted the phrase "GIF stands for graphics interchange format"some surreal, like the correct pronounciation for the phrase "please help me escape from this place"July 9th, 2013, Pronunciation Book departed from its regular programming with a video titled “How To Pronounce 77”. Instead of illustrating the correct pronunciation, the voiceover narrates that “something is going to happen in 77 days,” followed by 15 seconds of silence with soft clicks that could be interpreted as Morse code.Next day the video was 76The following days had a different pattern than previous videos:Start with a cryptic sentenceState how many days until when something will happenA cryptic narrative began to form through the intro sentencecaused internet buzz, the whole world wide web was spreading this series of videos in what I'd call an "explosive node" way.Bear Stearns BravoOn September 24th, 2013 Pronunciation Book released a new video titled "How to Pronounce Horse_ebooks," which contains a phonetic reading of the infamous Twitter spambot account @Horse_ebooks and a mysterious message narrated by a woman standing in front of a silver screen.The same day as the Horse_ebooks reveal, the New Yorker revealed Thomas Bender, VP of product development at HowCast as the identity behind Pronunciation Guide and he was running the @Horse_ebooks Twitter account with BuzzFeed's creative director Jacob Bakkila. The two were staging an event to launch of their new alternate reality game project called "Bear Stearns Bravo."Pronunciation ManualOn April 13th, 2011, the YouTube channel Pronunciation Manual launched, offering similar instructional videos. However, these videos intentionally mispronounce the words for comedic purposes. As of July 2013, the channel has inspired other copycat channels including PronunciationPartner and PronunciationPooper while amassing more than 213,000 subscribers and 68.4 million views, averaging 81,600 views per day.horse_ebooksStarted basically as a spam bot, but a Russian web developer, But without the nefarious tactics.Gained popularity as poeticTwitter account that posted nonsense phrases from ebooks about horses, interspersed with spam links."I will make certain you never buy knives again,""We all agree, no one looks cool,""Is the dance floor calling? No,""Everything happens so much""unfortunately, as you probably already know, people."Purchased in 2011 by Bakkila. This change was noticed by the account's followers when, on September 14, 2011, the account began tweeting "via web" instead of "via Horse ebooks", and the frequency of tweets promoting ClickBank significantly dropped while the number of "funny" tweets increased.Alternate Reality Game (ARG)interactive networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform and employs transmedia storytelling to deliver a story that may be altered by players' ideas or actions.Among the terms essential to understanding discussions about ARGs are:Puppet-master – A puppet-master or "PM" is an individual involved in designing and/or running an ARG. Puppet-masters are simultaneously allies and adversaries to the player base, creating obstacles and providing resources for overcoming them in the course of telling the game's story. Puppet-masters generally remain behind the curtain while a game is running. The real identity of puppet masters may or may not be known ahead of time.The Curtain – The curtain, drawing from the phrase, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain," is generally a metaphor for the separation between the puppetmasters and the players. This can take the traditional form of absolute secrecy regarding the puppetmasters' identities and involvement with the production, or refer merely to the convention that puppet-masters do not communicate directly with players through the game, interacting instead through the characters and the game's design.Rabbit-hole/Trailhead – A rabbit-hole, or trailhead, marks the first media artifact, be it a website, contact, or puzzle, that draws in players. Most ARGs employ a number of trailheads in several media to maximize the probability of people discovering the game. Typically, the rabbit-hole is a website, the most easily updated, cost-effective option.[4]This Is Not A Game (TINAG) – Setting the ARG form apart from other games is the This Is Not A Game sentiment popularized by the players themselves. It is the belief that "one of the main goals of the ARG is to deny and disguise the fact that it is even a game at all."design principlesStorytelling as archaeology. Instead of presenting a chronologically unified, coherent narrative, designers scatter pieces of the story across the Internet and other media, allowing players to reassemble it, supply connective tissue and determine what it means.Platformless narrative. Stories are not bound to a single medium, but exist independently and use whatever media is available to make itself heard.Designing for a hive mind. While it might be possible to follow games individually, designs are directed at a collective of players that share information and solutions almost instantly and incorporate individuals possessing almost every conceivable area of expertise. While games might initially attract a small group of participants, as the participants come across new challenges they try to find others with the knowledge needed to overcome an obstacle.A whisper is sometimes louder than a shout. Rather than openly promoting games and trying to attract participation by "pushing" it toward potential players, designers attempt to "pull" players to the story by engaging in over-the-top secrecy, have elements of the game "warn" players away from them, and eschew traditional marketing channels. Designers do not communicate about the game with players or press while it is in play.The "this is not a game" (TINAG) aesthetic. ARGs themselves do not acknowledge that they are games. They do not have an acknowledged ruleset for players; as in real life, they determine the "rules" either through trial and error or by setting their own boundaries. Narratives present a fully realized world: any phone number or the email address mentioned works, and any website acknowledged exists. Games take place in real time and are not replayable. Characters function like real people, not game pieces, respond authentically, and are controlled by real people, not by computer AI. Some events involve meetings or live phone calls between players and actors.Real life as a medium. Games use players' lives as a platform. Players are not required to build a character or role-play being someone other than themselves. They might unexpectedly overcome a challenge for the community simply because of the real-life knowledge and background they possessed. Participants are constantly on the lookout for clues embedded in everyday life.Collaborative storytelling. While the puppetmasters control most of the story, they incorporate player content and respond to players' actions, analysis and speculation by adapting the narrative and intentionally leave "white space" for the players to fill in.Not a hoax. While the TINAG aesthetic might seem on the surface to be an attempt to make something indistinguishable from real life, there are both subtle and overt metacommunications in place to reveal a game's framework and most of its boundaries.Inspiration1905 short story "The Tremendous Adventures of Major Brown" by G.

In the 8th episode of Season 3, your host JD Horror brings you two more extremely disturbing tales as we give you part 5 of our series on Sexual Sadists.WARNING: The following episode continues graphic and disturbing depictions of sexual torture and violence. This episode is definitely not for the faint of heart. Listener discretion is strongly advised. You’ve been warned.Case #1: 44 Days of Hell - Four Japanese teenagers abducted 17 year old Junko Furuta, and for 44 days she was subjected to every form of torture imaginable. Known in the Japanese media as the "Concrete Encased School Girl Murder Case", this is definitely one of the most brutal and heinous crimes in all of human history. (The Murder of Junko Furuta, Japan)Case #2: The Collector - Bob Berdella, better known as "The Kansas City Butcher" who take his inspiration from a 1963 novel as a teen. The brutality of his crimes would eclipse anything that author John Fowles could have imagined when he wrote the story. Berdella would be convicted of the rape, torture, and murder of six men... But could there have been more? (B. Berdella, Kansas City, OH, USA)If you like what you hear here on True Crime Horror Story please subscribe and give us a 5 star review.

Haven't heard of these two? By the end of today's tale, you'll be shocked that they're not much more infamous. Lake and Ng most likely killed over 25 people in central and northern California in the early 80s. Lake was a former Marine obsessed with preparing for a nuclear apocalypse, taking nude photos of as many women as possible, having sex with as many of those women as possible, and pursuing what he called, “Operation Miranda” - a sick plan based on the novel The Collector, that involved kidnapping young women to imprison and train to be sex slaves. And his murder-buddy, Charles Ng, was arguably scarier than he was. And now one of these men is dead and the other is in prison for life.

In this episode, Hans, Chris, and I discuss The French Lieutenant's Woman, a metafictional novel that explores sexuality and class in Victorian England.

Radio ditto presents Campfire, where we talk to inspiring folk from the worlds of tech, art and culture.In this episode, we chat with Rodney Orpheus, music tech evangelist, pioneering synth musician and spiritual author. Rodney discusses his upbringing in native Northern Ireland during the civil rights conflict, the secret behind his eccentric name and how three chords enabled him to start his eccentric music journey through punk. He moved to the creative city of Leeds, crashed a birthday party and formed The Cassandra Complex band, who went on to gain huge success in Europe – setting up their own recording studio in Hamburg. Rodney also chats about how he became the tech evangelist for Steinberg, as he helped to create the worlds first ‘Virtual Studio’, making synthesised music accessible, condensing huge mixing desks into computer programs. Rodney recommends reading the novel ‘Little, big’ by John Crowley.Rodney recommends listening to ‘1969’ by Velvet Underground.Rodney recommends watching ‘The French Lieutenants Woman’ adapted from a novel by John Fowles with screenplay from Harold Pinter.

Mantissa è una parola bellissima, e non proprio d’uso comune, che John Fowles ha scelto come titolo per un suo libro. Ma cosa significa? E che legame ha con l’importanza dell’insignificante in letteratura?

Capita anche a voi di non riuscire a descrivere come vorreste qualcosa che avete amato? Più in particolare, di non riuscire a spiegare perché un testo letterario vi è piaciuto molto? Ecco, sappiate che succede anche agli scrittori, e non troppo di rado. Da Barthes a Flaubert, passando per John Fowles, provo a spiegarne il motivo.

In this episode we explore some of the faces of captivity: What are some of the psychological dynamics between captor and captive? What do these experiences look like for the “average” (?!) person being held in captivity by a psychopath? The personal experiences of captivity as seen outside of the extreme situations reported in the news and made into films, may look a lot different yet, bespeak the same psychological dynamics. We look at how the entire concept of captivity has been so commodified and sexualized, that it has occluded, hence de-emphasized the importance of scrutinizing this perverse and dangerous psychological phenomenon which has been occurring for time immemorial. I make references to John Fowles book, The Collector, which most of us had to read in 10th grade when it probably made little sense. With the decline of interest in literature, people are less able to reference psychological dynamics in books, which really are the only references that accurately develop characters and traits which describe psychological malaise. Manuals such as the DSM with its lists of symptoms and brief multiple-choice characteristics, make little sense when attempting to look at Character-Disordered people/creatures such as socio/psychopaths, or antisocial and borderline characters. I’ve referenced some films this week which may help explore the various dimensions of captivity. The Shining (Jack Nicolson), The Experiment (Adrien Brody/Forest Whitaker), Fallen (Denzel Washington), all disturbing, somewhat sensationalized, and abstract, nevertheless, accurately portray psychological dimensions of the psychology of captivity. I offer a number of abbreviated vignettes which were part of my own captivity, but I chose them because these traumatic and monstrous experiences are often universal to someone who has been with a psychopath either in a long- or shorter-term relationship. How does being held captive affect the nervous system and the brain’s amygdala function? How can the psychopath maintain captivity when his or her prey is at a distance? How does the violent raging of a psychopath affect a child who is part of the union? Please listen to this episode to learn more.

On this date in 1942, the first gold record was awarded to Glenn Miller and his Orchestra. Here are some things you may not have known about certification of record sales. The record given to Miller was from his record company, RCA Victor, to celebrate the sales of 1.2 million copies of the single “Chattanooga Choo Choo.” Other gold records awarded by companies were to Elvis Presley in 1956 after selling 1 million copies of his single “Don’t Be Cruel.” A year later RCA Victor game Harry Belafonte a gold record for selling 1 million copies of his album “Calypso.” These awards were not official, however. The Recording Industry of America introduced its gold record program for singles and albums in 1958. The official program required a record to sell at lease $1 million in retail sales. The sales numbers were restricted to U.S.-based labels and did not include exports. The first RIAA-certified gold single was “Catch a Falling Star” by Perry Como. The first album to hit gold was the soundtrack from “Oklahoma!” In 1976, the certification changed to add the platinum record for sales of 1 million or more copies. The gold record level was changed to 500,000 copies. The first platinum single was Johnnie Taylor’s “Disco Lady,” while the first album was “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” by Iron Butterfly. In 1999, the Diamond certification was introduced for records that have sold more than 10 million copies. According to the RIAA, the first record to be certified Diamond was “Can’t Slow Down” by Lionel Richie. Our question: What is the second-best selling album in the United States behind “Thriller” by Michael Jackson? Today is unofficially Umbrella Day, National Cream Cheese Brownie Day, and National Flannel Day. It’s the birthday of actor Lon Chaney Jr., who was born in 1902; film director Alexander Payne, who is 56; and actress Elizabeth Banks, who is 43. Because our topic happened before 1960, we’ll spin the wheel to pick a year at random. This week in 1970, the top song in the U.S. was “Thank You (Fallettin Me Be Mice Elf Agin)” by Sly and the Family Stone. The No. 1 movie was “MASH,” while the novel “The French Lieutenant’s Woman” by John Fowles topped the New York Times Bestsellers list.  Links Follow us on Twitter, Facebook or our website.

What do Edith Wharton, Haruki Murakami, Raymond Chandler, John Fowles, Alfred Hitchcock, and Wong Kar-wai have in common? All are known for their ability to generate a particular mood and atmosphere – and all were selected by our guest, Professor Vu Tran of the University of Chicago, as being particularly inspirational as he wrote his novel Dragonfish. In this episode, Vu and Jacke discuss what makes these works so compelling, how the works helped Vu write his novel, and how a certain American city produces an intense feeling of endless hope and melancholy, twenty-four hours a day.  VU TRAN is an Assistant Professor in the English Department at the University of Chicago and the author of Dragonfish: A Novel (2015). Professor Tran has been described as “a fiction writer whose work thus far is preoccupied with the legacy of the Vietnam War for the Vietnamese who remained in the homeland, the Vietnamese who immigrated to America, and the Americans whose lives have intersected with both.” “Richly satisfying work….[Has] a place on the top shelf of literary thrillers.” —Gerald Bartell, San Francisco Chronicle Works Discussed: Dragonfish: A Novel by Vu Tran The Magus by John Fowles The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler Vertigo (dir. Alfred Hitchcock) In the Mood for Love (dir. Wong Kar-wai) Show Notes: We have a special episode coming up – listener feedback!

“You have planted a dagger in me, and your damned freedom gives you license to twist it in my heart!" Meryl Streep received her first nomination for Best Actress in a film that one would think had been lost in time if not for the recent Criterion Collection release — Karel Reisz's 1981 film “The French Lieutenant's Woman.” She lost to Katherine Hepburn in “On Golden Pond,” which makes sense, but Streep's performance is still a fascinating one. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Meryl Streep series with Reisz's film. We talk about how the film worked for us — Pete found it painfully boring and Andy, while appreciating it, ultimately didn't really connect with it. We discuss the intricacies of the script and how Harold Pinter adapted the ‘unfilmmable' novel by John Fowles upon which it was based, enjoying the design of the screenplay structure quite a bit. We chat about the strengths in what is going on in the two parallel stories and what keeps us from completely connecting with it. We talk about the actors — notably Streep and Jeremy Irons — and what they bring to the table in these two roles. And we deliberate on the proper way to pronounce ‘lieutenant.' It's an interesting film that ultimately didn't click with either of us, even if we could appreciate some of the work in it. And it brings our total number of films discussed on the regular show to 200! So check out the movie then tune in — we have a great chat about it! Film Sundries Script Transcript Original theatrical trailer Original poster artwork Original Material Flickchart Trailers of the Week Andy's Trailer: Uncle John — “The trailer is haunting and creepy, and John Ashton seems to come out of left field to play the titular character. I have a hard time figuring out what this is about, but the trailer makes me want to see it. Now THAT'S what a good trailer should do." Pete's Trailer: The Lobster — “I love the cultural reflection here, that if you don't find traditional love, you're turned into an animal and sent into the woods. Perhaps the metaphor is too on the nose, but the mood and experience of this trailer bring me a big smile." Hey! You know what would be awesome? If you would drop us a positive rating on iTunes! If you like what we're doing here on TNR, it really is the best way to make sure that this show appears when others search for it, plus, it's just a nice thing to do. Thanks!!

The 15th Annual John Fowles Center Literary Forum is devoted to Latin American writers and writing. Sergio Chejfec reads from his book and Mark Axelrod translates. Chejfek was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. From 1990-2005 he lived in Venezuela, where he published "Nueva sociedad", a journal of politics, culture and the social sciences.

Some of his work includes, "Lenta biografia", "Las planetas", "Boca de Lobo" and "Los incompletes". His novels usually feature a slow-paced narrator that interweaves the plot with reflection and memory. Some themes prevalent in his work include political violence, and Jewish-Argentine culture and history. "My Two Worlds" was published by Open Letter Books in 2011. Taped by Panther Productions.

Writer Marcio Souza reads from his novels and discusses the impact of literature in his life. Souza's first novel, "Galvez Emperors Acre", was a huge critical success and soon became an international phenomenon. Since then, the prolific writer has penned numerous other novels, essays and dramas. His work includes novels: "Mad Mary", "The Order of the Day", and "The Lost World"; essays: "Draw Against Chico Mendes", "Fascination and Repulsion" and "Short History of the Amazon" and plays: "Dessanas, Dessanas", "The Passioin of Ajuricaba" and "As Folias Latex". Souza is also a screenwriter, playwright and director of theater and opera. As a man of the theater he currently leads the TESC Experimental Theater and "The SESC of Amazonas", the theater group that pioneered the struggle to preserve the Amazon. Marcio Souza has also been a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Currently, he is writing a tetralogy "Chronicles of Grand Para and Rio Negro", of which two books: "Loyalty" and "Disorder" have been published by Editora Record in Brazil.

The John Fowles Center for Creative Writing promotes and advances the discipline of creative writing in all its aspects: fiction, poetry, drama, creative non-fiction and film. The Center offers students and non-students alike an opportunity to gain a greater appreciation for the "written word" and those who write it. Each year a distinguished group of national and international writers is invited to Chapman University, making access to those writers available not only to the Chapman community, but to the Orange County and, by extension, the Southern California community as well. Chapman University’s John Fowles Literary Forum offers readings and lectures by internationally recognized novelists, poets, and screen/ playwrights. The 2012 literary series is devoted to Latin American authors. This session features Alicia Kozameh. Alicia Kozameh is an Argentine author and former political prisoner during the last military dictatorship in her country. She is the author of the novels such as, Pasos bajo el agua (Steps Under Water), a fictionalized account of her experience in prison; 259 saltos and uno inmortal (259 Leaps, the Last Immortal), inspired by her life as a political exile. Filmed by Panther Productions.
