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.

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 […]

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.

The post How do you spell success? appeared first on Jeffrey Zeldman Presents. Calm down, Chicken Little. The stock market is not a bubble. Just because it’s a thin sphere of liquid that expands every second of every day doesn’t mean it’s a bubble. It could be anything. You’re worried. You’re saying numbers can’t go up and up forever. I’m saying take a look at the stock market. It’s a light-as-air orb that is floating higher and higher. There is no way that ever stops. It’s not possible. You really think this transparent domed enclosure is a bubble? Okay, Nostradamus. Next, you’re going to predict tonight’s winning lottery numbers, or tell me when the Red Sox will win the World Series again. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Maybe you need to get your eyes checked. Not every air-filled spherical cavity is a bubble. That happens all the time in nature for all sorts of reasons. In this particular case, it’s because the American economy is 100 percent healthy and has no underlying issues. |
