作家は人生から盗む
再び今日も昨日に引き続き最近、Apple TV+の元MI6の小説家「ジョン・ル・カレ回想録」からの一説。
::::
作家は人生から盗む。孤独な人間が使う創作方法だ。他から借り、経験を抽象化し小包のようなものにまとめる。それを公開する。奇術師のようだ。
::::
どの作家さんか忘れてしまったが「作家は、登場人物にしゃべらせれば、どのようなことでも言える。それで作家が否定されることはない。逆に状況を説明するような場面で差別的な表現を使うと逆にすぐにクレームが入る」と言っていた。
登場人物として喋らせて仕舞えば、あくまでフィクション、作家の人間性を否定されずどのようなキャラクターも登場させられるというのは、なかなか面白い。

Writers steal from life John le Carré
Again today, just yesterday, an excerpt from the memoirs of former MI6 novelist John le Carré on Apple TV+.
::::
Writers steal from life. It’s a creative method used by lonely people. They borrow from others, distill their experiences and assemble them into a kind of package. They publish it. It’s like a magician.
::::
I forget which writer said: “A writer can say anything he wants if he lets his characters speak. That doesn’t negate the author. On the contrary, if you use discriminatory language in a situation where you are explaining a situation, you will immediately get complaints.
It is quite interesting that any character can appear in fiction without denying the humanity of the writer, as long as they are made to speak as characters.
