Re-Creative: Ira Nayman and O Lucky Man!

Ira Nayman decided to devote his life to writing humor when he was eight years old. More than fifty years later, he has had eight novels published by Elsewhen Press, he’s self-published fourteen Alternate Reality News Service collections and he’s had two dozen short stories published in various anthologies. Oh, and he was the editor of Amazing Stories magazine. Yes, THAT Amazing Stories (https://amazingstories.com/) . Also oh: he has a PhD in Communications from McGill University. Because humor comes in many forms… He’s recently celebrated the twentieth (or so!) anniversary of publishing satire on the web at Les Pages Aux Folles. (https://lespagesauxfolles.ca/) In this episode of Re-Creative (https://re-creative.ca/) , Mark (https://markarayner.com/) A. Rayner, Ira and I have a wide-ranging and mind-bending conversation about the multiverse, theories of time travel, the nature of satire, and, of course, cannibalism. Nayman considers O Lucky Man! a “cinematic version of Candide.” Directed by Lindsay Anderson, and starring Malcolm McDowell, the film is the second in Anderson’s Mick Travis trilogy, but stands on its own. It’s the kind of movie that needs to be experienced, but IMDB says of it: “An ambitious coffee salesman has a series of improbable and ironic adventures that seem designed to challenge his naive idealism.” Nayman informs the conversation with his breadth of knowledge about the history of media, his studies of the nature of satire, and his great sense of humor.
