Years
ago I was talking to an actor friend who had recently begun to
conceive of a new kind of theater that he hoped would do away with
traditional theater once and for all. He considered traditional
theater, where the audience sits quietly and watches and listens to
actors, offensive and outdated. “The problem with it,” he explained,
leaning over the table toward me, “is the performers are always f***ing
the audience.” He then mimed this experience for me with his
enormous hands. “You see?” he said. “We’re always f***ing the
audience.” more... |

Best known for The Color of Water: a Black
Man’s Tribute to His White Mother, McBride
also wrote a novel casting a unique perspective
on World War II history, The Miracle at St.
Anna: the story of a black military patrol
caught behind enemy lines in Italy and the
villagers who shelter them. In this fabulous new
historical novel, the author transports modern
readers into the mid-nineteenth century, just
prior to the Civil War—a society on the cusp of
industrial change, confounded by the subjugation
of one race by another.

Recently I was listening
to a radio program in which Marc Allen was being interviewed. Marc
Allen is one of the founders of New World Library–a very successful
publishing house—and has written a book entitled
Type- Z Guide to Success: A Lazy Person's
Manifesto to Wealth and Fulfillment.
On the show he talked about how years ago, when
he had just turned thirty and was unemployed
with no money, he decided to do an exercise he
had heard of called “Ideal Scene.” In “Ideal
Scene” you write down the best life scenario (or
where you’d like to be in five years) you can
imagine for yourself. To his surprise he wrote
of starting a successful publishing company and
writing books.
