I went hungry now and again, but then was fed by the City; the place nurtured me, for a start in life, because I worked there for a living - which was good; got bombed in 1941 and didn’t get hit! A youth in Nottingham was rich with lovely girls, and friendships never to be forgotten, a town built into my bones and heart, carried with me forever. Always part of me, impossible not to make it live for others as it lived and still does for me - something given back with more than thanks.” Alan Sillitoe, 2008 LeftLion Magazine Issue 24 contents August-September 2008 editorial Youths and Ducks, Have the students gone, then?

  • Chapter 36 Harold Pinter: the Dramatist and His World
    Chapter 36 Harold Pinter: The Dramatist and His World Background Nobel winner, Harold Pinter (1930- 2008) was born in London, England in a Jewish family. Some of the most recognizable features in his plays are the use of understatement, small talk, reticence , and silence. These devices are employed to convey the substance of a character’s thoughts. At the outbreak of World War II, Pinter was evacuated from the city to Cornwall; to be wrenched from his parents was a traumatic event for Pinter. He lived with 26 other boys in a castle on the coast. At the age of 14, he returned to London. "The condition of being bombed has never left me," Pinter later said. At school one of Pinter's main intellectual interests was English literature, particularly poetry. He also read works of Franz Kafka and Ernest Hemingway, and started writing poetry for little magazines in his teens. The seeds of rebellion in Pinter could be spotted early on when he refused to do the National Service. As a young man, he studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and the Central School of Speech and Drama, but soon left to undertake an acting career under the stage name David Baron. He travelled around Ireland in a Shakespearean company and spent years working in provincial repertory before deciding to turn his attention to playwriting. Pinter was married from 1956 to the actress Vivien Merchant. For a time, they lived in Notting Hill Gate in a slum. Eventually Pinter managed to borrow some money and move away.

  • Stanley S. Atherton ALAN SILLITOE's BATTLEGROUND
    Stanley S. Atherton ALAN SILLITOE'S BATTLEGROUND I FoR ALAN S1LLIT0E's HEROES, to live at all is to fight, and this belligerence de- fines their existence in the English working-class world that they inhabit. Their struggles, while reflecting the difficulties of individual protagonists, are primarily class confliots echoing the author's disillusion with contemporary English society. The early Seaton-family novels, Saturday Niglit and Sunday Morning and Key to the Door, along with the shorter works The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner and The Decline and Fall of Frankie Buller, offer a series of loud and angry protests which define Sillitoe's working-class perspective, while the later novels, The Death of William Posters and A Tree on Fire, move beyond this co a more positive approach to the problems of existence raised in the earlier work. The battles of his heroes, whether they are visceral or cerebral, internal or external, idealistic or pragmatic, are all fought to achieve Sillitoe's utopian dream of a better world. The central campaigns in Sillitoe's war are aimed at toppling a social structure built on inequality and characterized by haves and have-nots. The early fiction makes it clear: the two groups are enemies. Smith, the Borstal boy in The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner, talks of "them" and "us" and reveals tha:t "they don't see eye to eye with us and we don't see eye to eye with them."1 His thoughts on the lonely practice-runs over the early-morning countryside lead him to conclude that "by sending me to Borstal they've shown me the knife, and from now on I know something I didn't know before: that it's war between me and them.

  • From Free Cinema to British New Wave: a Story of Angry Young Men
    SUPLEMENTO Ideas, I, 1 (2020) 51 From Free Cinema to British New Wave: A Story of Angry Young Men Diego Brodersen* Introduction In February 1956, a group of young film-makers premiered a programme of three documentary films at the National Film Theatre (now the BFI Southbank). Lorenza Mazzetti, Lindsay Anderson, Karel Reisz and Tony Richardson thought at the time that “no film can be too personal”, and vehemently said so in their brief but potent manifesto about Free Cinema. Their documentaries were not only personal, but aimed to show the real working class people in Britain, blending the realistic with the poetic. Three of them would establish themselves as some of the most inventive and irreverent British filmmakers of the 60s, creating iconoclastic works –both in subject matter and in form– such as Saturday Day and Sunday Morning, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner and If… Those were the first significant steps of a New British Cinema. They were the Big Screen’s angry young men. What is British cinema? In my opinion, it means many different things. National cinemas are much more than only one idea. I would like to begin this presentation with this question because there have been different genres and types of films in British cinema since the beginning. So, for example, there was a kind of cinema that was very successful, not only in Britain but also in America: the films of the British Empire, the films about the Empire abroad, set in faraway places like India or Egypt. Such films celebrated the glory of the British Empire when the British Empire was almost ending.

Legendary synthpop band New Order has been confirmed as a performer at Flow Festival, taking place at Suvilahti in Helsinki, August 12-14. The band’s success story reaches back to the 1980s and its songs have been a staple at clubs and indie discos the world over for past 30+ years. Last fall the band released a comeback album, Music Complete, to a rapturous reception from both fans and critics. Several music medias listed the album as one of the year’s most important releases and Mojo Magazine named New Order their band of the year for 2015. The Last Shadow Puppets is a project by Alex Turner, known for his work as the front man and songwriter for Arctic Monkeys, and Miles Kane, a familiar face as a member of The Rascals and as a solo performer. They will make their live debut in Finland at this summer’s Flow. Their eagerly awaited new album Everything You’ve Come To Expect is slated for release on April 1. Flow will also host Holly Herndon, an American artist of growing significance in the experimental electronic music scene and Berlin-based producer Shackleton with his new project Powerplant. People who are into the international clubbing scene will be treated to performances by John Talabot, a brilliant producer who walks the tightrope between the underground and larger arenas with enviable panache, one of Germany’s premier electronic music DJs Roman Flügel, a unique persona as both DJ and producer The Black Madonna as well as DJ Pierre and DJ Spank from the legendary Chicago-based crew Phuture, whose Acid Tracks is widely considered to be the first acid house release.
