Your translator slipped heavily, even on the English/English
bits present in the French text you explored.
This interview comes from a specialized magazine,
better than an average fanzine but not a trade magazine,
published in France during the 80s (1980-89), titled:
HARD-BOILED DICKS…
There were 22 issues all designed by Roger
Martin, a fan of American hard-boiled literature. Articles
were not only from him, but also from knowledgeable
collaborators. Later Martin will write himself dark
mysteries.
Most of these interviews are valuable, as
published during a period not very rich in publications
supporting and analyzing mystery lit. and even less so for
noir/HB, in France and elsewhere.
For each writer there was a dossier made of
several articles.
In these days good and reliable info about the
writers were difficult to get, so any interview could help.
Even today Martin's H-BD is a base of info (even if it has to
be completed and in some cases amended).
Among the writers he presented in his
magazine:
Don Tracy, Steve Marlowe, Wade Miller, Joseph
Wambaugh
E.Borgers

Willow Arune <
pangarun@telus.net> a 飲it : I noted that Sue Feder's
article on Johnson referred to an interview with a French
magazine, tracked that down easily enough and ran it through
a Web translator. The result - not great but understandible,
is below:
Discussion with Richard Johnson according to correspondences
of October the 5, and 25 1983, August 10, September 4, and 24
1984.
Published in number 13 of Dick's Hardware-Boiled, entirely
devoted to Martin Brett and Emil Richard Johnson and
conceived and carried out by Roger Martin impression To
reduce the size of the Aggrandir text size of the text
Six novels published with the Black Series of 1968 to 1972
announced to the attention of the amateurs of black novels
the name of Emil Richard Johnson. They testified to a real
talent, an undeniable control of the style and an original
inspiration. Also there was nothing astonishing so that the
first title in question, the Herrings have good back (Silver
Street) received Edgar of the best first detective novel
allotted by Mystery Writers of America in 1969. Moreover, the
noise which ran that Johnson was in prison under the blow of
a charge of murder, added an unquestionable curiosity to a
work which did not raise interest badly. Emil Richard Johnson
wanted well, of its cell to the prison of Stillwater
(Minnesota) to raise the veil for the readers of Dicks
Hardware-Boiled.
R.M. Emil Richard Johnson the first question, most delicate.
How be you arrived here, in prison?
R.M. How did you come to the writing?
