![]() I spend much less energy thinking about what needs to be done and I am able to easily increase efficiency. This careful planning and analysis saves me a wealth of time. Journaling my entire month takes about six hours. With this information I can monitor my performance, see where I've fallen behind, then pay more attention in the future. If we look at my month of January above, I missed 21 of the 744 hours which is clearly outlined in my monthly report. I don't force the issue because it's important that the system remain fun otherwise it won't work. Sometimes I'm traveling, other times I simply don't want to do anything. I generally meet 75 - 90% of the allocated times which is a flexibility I'm comfortable with. I understand that I won't 100% meet all these time requirements. To the left you can see the "Goals" folder grouped by month.To the right is a list of targets and goals for January 2016.Īt the end of each month I calculate the total amount of time I have invested into each goal. ![]() ![]() I was expecting the same kind of deep, emotional connection. So yeah, I was excited when I got my hands on his second collection, The Hidden Girl, and cracked it open. He has won just about every award there is to win for short speculative fiction, and the namesake story that beat as the heart of his 2016 collection, The Paper Menagerie, took home the sci-fi triple crown, winning the Hugo, the Nebula and the World Fantasy Award in 2012. He is busy.Īnd when he's not doing any of that, Liu writes short stories. He writes books about Luke Skywalker and does travel pieces on Shanghai, wrote an essay that became a ballet, writes articles poetry. He creates big, doorstopper novels of his own (the Dandelion Dynasty series), and translates works from some of the best Chinese genre writers working in that language (Liu Cixin, Hao Jingfang, others). Ken Liu does a lot of things as a writer. ![]() ![]() Your purchase helps support NPR programming. ![]() Close overlay Buy Featured Book Title The Hidden Girl and Other Stories Author Ken Liu ![]() ![]() ![]() As they start to fall for each other, a racial profiling scandal surrounding Walter’s dad unfolds.

The arrival of Pizzaro and the down of the last Inca emperor, Atawallpa, coincides with what the author identifies as a particularly precarious moment in the Inca Empire's history: a succession crisis at a moment of high centralization. Chapter 3 describe the meteoric rise of the Inca over the 15th century, its leaders (each titled "The Inca"), and their conflicts and contributions. The Inca are, to Charles Mann, an empire akin to its contemporaries in Eurasia. Throughout the chapter, Mann emphasizes the "imperial" character of the Inca-the centralization of rule, their incorporation of different cultures and communities, and the sheer scale and scope of their territory. The third chapter of 1491 describes the dramatic rise and fall of the Inca Empire. Mann highlights how traditional accounts of the story tend to ignore the convoluted politics of the tribes of the region, as well as Tisquantum's own complex motivations. Mann's account of this aid provides the political significance behind Tisquantum's act, as well as how his own personal story influenced his motives. "Billington"-the surname of a settler and an ancestor of Mann himself-survives only because of Tisquantum's aid to the colony. ![]() Mann expands the historical context of Squanto’s story. Chapter 2, "Why Billington Survived" tells the story of Tisquantum, also known as "Squanto," and his aid to the Pilgrims. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now Michéle is more nomadic, splitting her time between Los Angeles and Paris, and attracting beautiful freaks wherever she goes. In those days, she was better known as the owner and host of cult Hollywood nightspot Les Deux Cafe, where anyone who’s anyone would dine as Michéle performed smoky jazz numbers in her thick drawl. She’s so in-demand that she’s tricky to track down: we did this interview partly in London, at Claridges in Mayfair, and partly at the Chateau Marmont in LA, the city Michéle lived in for 26 years until the early 2000s. But Michéle is a chameleonic creative in her own right, forever staging art happenings, musical collaborations and style projects around the world, as well as co-designing the furniture for the Rick Owens line. She’s been married to the designer Rick Owens, her former pattern cutter, since 2006 and is often referred to as his 'muse'. For the final episode of The Last Bohemians: LA, supported by Audio-Technica, we meet French fashion disruptor and true original, Michéle Lamy. ![]() ![]() If you would like to publish text from MoMA’s archival materials, please fill out this permission form and send to.
