For more than forty years, Charles Johnson has been a fixture on the literary scene in Seattle, along with two other African American writers, both transplants: the late Octavia Butler and the late August Wilson. Like they did, Johnson has produced work his own way, avoiding the expectations that many would impose on a Black writer. This journey of distinction for Johnson began in 1982, with his second published novel, Oxherding Tale, a quasi–slave narrative and rogue’s narrative steeped in both Eastern and Western philosophy. Johnson has since published twenty books, and has received numerous accolades for his work, including the National Book Award for Fiction for his novel Middle Passage, a MacArthur Fellowship, and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
How you do anything is how you do everything.
If you don’t put your best foot forward at every single opportunity, then you are wasting the precious few steps you have on this earth. You can’t half-ass things. Everything you do, do it with your best foot and your entire ass. Maybe also use your arms. Both of them, if needed, including the hands. And any other parts that are necessary to complete the task, whatever that task may be.
Nobody wants to hear your excuses. You know what they say about excuses, right? They’re like assholes. A hole of an ass is even worse than half of an ass. Because a hole is nothing, and that’s exactly what your excuses are worth. Everywhere I go, I look around and I see someone with an excuse. To me, they look like nothing. “How do you see them, if they look like nothing?” you may ask. “You know what I mean, don’t be obtuse” is my response to those asking that question.

It was, I think, the Spam that broke me. The infamous blend of processed pork and ham has always been, with the best will in the world, poverty food. Cheap and long-lasting, the foodstuff whose name apocryphally stands for ‘spare parts and animal meat’ became iconic for helping see Britain through the deprivations of the […]
Oppositionen har riktat hård kritik mot regeringens budget, mycket av den befogad. Att två tredjedelar av reformutrymmet på 80 miljarder går till skattesänkningar i stället för välfärd, klimat, infrastruktur eller arbetsmarknad går verkligen att ifrågasätta. Bara två procent av svenska folket tycker att det är en lämplig användning av pengarna … Det finns all anledning […]

Well, here we are. Although many believed that aggressive cuts to our country’s arts funding and national granting organizations by our current administration would have made it impossible to continue to mount adventurous performances of creative merit, we are overjoyed to present this piece tonight, thanks to the incredible support of institutions small and large who have stepped up to the plate to fill in the current void in arts funding. Tonight’s performance wouldn’t be possible without the support of: by Basak Kus* “It is China, more than any other place that has served as the ‘other’ for the modern West’s stories about itself, from Smith and Malthus to Marx and Weber,” wrote historian Kenneth Pomeranz in his book The Great Divergence. The historical origins of the East–West divide—why Europe and China’s developmental trajectories diverged […]
