    If we allow the novel to work on its own terms, and quit asking it to meet our expectations of a common coming-of-age story, we can find that the style itself reveals the experience we seek.

  2. Lisa Jackson and The National #Film Board - #NFB of #Canada have created a #documentary that redefines #Indigenous #knowledge and #teachings using the life and times of #Elder, #cosmology and #astronomy expert, Wilfred Buck.

    โ€œWe are in the process of remaking an age-old song . . . signing, dreaming, praying, talking into existence once again the knowledge of our people,โ€ said Wilfred Buck.

    Moving between the earth and stars, past and present, this hybrid feature documentary follows the extraordinary life of Wilfred Buck, a charismatic and impertinent #Cree Elder who overcame a harrowing โ€“ yet all too familiar โ€” history of displacement, racism and addiction by reclaiming ancestral star knowledge and ceremony.

    Buck is humble, profound, funny, always real and a master #storyteller. Narration taken from his #autobiography, I Have Lived Four Lives, condenses the loss and desperate pain of his youth into powerful, Beat-like poetry.

  3. Daily writing prompt If there was a biography about you, what would the title be? View all responses

    Itโ€™s been a weird morning.โ€‚I feel like I am massively off of my regular schedule, but I am getting caught up now.โ€‚Iโ€™ll probably write more about it later, because I am a chronic over-sharer, as you may have noticed.

    Anyway, if there was a biography about me, what would the title be?โ€‚I foresee such a thing having one of two possible titles.โ€‚The first would be something like, โ€œInside the Red Headโ€™s Head.โ€โ€‚Another possible name could be, โ€œrobertjames1971.blog.โ€

    Wait a second!โ€‚Something with titles like that already exists!โ€‚Who would have thunk it? There is something similar to an autobiography already and you are literally reading it right now!โ€‚I meanโ€ฆ this is more of a journal than an autobiography.โ€‚Maybe if you squint a little you could call it a memoir.โ€‚Probably not.โ€‚Whatever, itโ€™s a slice of my life at this point in time and I think that counts.โ€‚Even if it is a carefully curated slice of life containing only the crap that I am willing to share with the greater universe.โ€‚That still countsโ€ฆ I thinkโ€ฆ maybeโ€ฆ maybe not, but itโ€™s good enough to answer this question today, donโ€™t you think?

    Google AI, generate an image of a Jedi Knight writing his or her autobiography.

    His pen looks like a lightsaber!โ€‚HA!

    So what do you all thinkโ€ฆ is it time to cut the crap with the AI generated images of Jedi Knights doing something loosely related to the current daily writing prompt?โ€‚I might be ready to stop, but I also might be ready to not stop.โ€‚I am undecided.

  4. My People Shall Live: Autobiography of a Revolutionary

    The autobiography of a revolutionary Leila Khaled. The most obvious moral of this book is that violence always breeds more violence. The Nazis subjected the Jews to violence. The Jews treated the Palestinians with violence. The Palestinians see violence as the only means of recovering their country and their freedom.
