''Up the Junction'' is a 1963 collection of short stories by Nell Dunn that depicts contemporary life in the industrial slums of Battersea and Clapham Junction. The book uses colloquial speech, and its portrayal of petty thieving, sexual encounters, births, deaths and back-street abortion provided a view of life that was previously unrecognised by many people. The book won the 1963 John Llewellyn Rhys Memorial Prize. ==Adaptations== In 1965 it was adapted for television by the BBC as part of ''The Wednesday Play'' anthology series directed by Ken Loach. A cinema film version followed in 1968 with a soundtrack by Manfred Mann. According to Chris Difford, the lyricist of Squeeze (band), the television version of the play was the inspiration for the Squeeze hit 'Up the Junction'.〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VRuBredxaI〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Up the Junction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
