But then, how could we ever know? Who would ever tell us?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Do you have three bucks? Do you have five minutes? Friend, congratulations: you\u2019re about to become a best-selling author. Brent Underwood tells you how: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/observer.com\/2016\/02\/behind-the-scam-what-does-it-takes-to-be-a-bestselling-author-3-and-5-minutes\/\" target=\"_blank\">I didn\u2019t feel like writing a book so I instead just took a photo of my foot<\/a>. I called the book <em>Putting My Foot Down<\/em> and included one page with, you guessed it, a photo of my foot \u2026 I decided my foot was worthy of the \u2018Transpersonal\u2019 category under psychology books and \u2018Freemasonry &amp; Secret Societies\u2019 category under social sciences books \u2026 Burst onto the scene with three copies sold in the first few hours. Look at that hockey stick growth!\u201d<\/li>\n<li>When fingerprinting came on the scene in the late nineteenth century, it was regarded as a forensics godsend\u2014and tellingly, it coincided with the popularity of Sherlock Holmes and detective fiction. But Francis Galton, who wrote the first influential book on fingerprints, was interested in them for a different kind of fiction: \u201cHe definitively declared that \u2018no peculiar pattern \u2026characterizes persons of any of the above races.\u2019 And yet, despite his admission that \u2018hard fact had made hope no longer justifiable,\u2019 <a href=\"http:\/\/publicdomainreview.org\/2016\/02\/24\/the-anthropometric-detective-and-his-racial-clues\/\" target=\"_blank\">a closer look at Galton\u2019s writings reveals that racial typologies were never far from his thoughts<\/a>. The conflicted speculation, conjecture, and hesitation in Galton\u2019s racial rhetoric in\u00a0<em>Finger Prints\u00a0<\/em>can be understood as a deliberate strategy, one which allowed him to perpetuate a strong racial and imperial research program even when his scientific data undermined it.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Just a friendly reminder that good times are ahead: the Oscars are happening. A whole bunch of movies will be celebrated, and most of them are highly forgettable, but in interesting ways. Luckily <a href=\"https:\/\/nplusonemag.com\/online-only\/film-review\/were-not-ugly-people\/\" target=\"_blank\">A. S. Hamrah knows these ways, and has written them down<\/a>. On <em>The Martian<\/em>: \u201cRidley Scott\u2019s backlot Mars offers a parable for New Yorkers considering the move to LA \u2026 You\u2019ll conduct your social life via text and Skype, make trips to the desert in your electric car. You\u2019ll continue to shave every day on the off chance you get a meeting.\u201d On <em>The Revenant<\/em>: \u201cI\u00f1\u00e1rritu has finally solved the problem of how to film a realistic bear fight. The next cinematic problem he should tackle is screenwriting.\u201d On <em>Steve Jobs<\/em>: \u201cThey should have given\u00a0<em>Steve Jobs\u00a0<\/em>away for free without anyone asking for it, like that U2 album. That way people (users) might have watched it by accident.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>In 1955, the saxophonist Wardell Gray died in bizarre circumstances, found miles outside of Vegas with a broken neck, his body having clearly been moved. For Aaron Gilbreath, his story reminds of \u201cthe small pantheon of jazz fiction. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michiganquarterlyreview.com\/2016\/02\/jazz-reality-and-fiction-the-bright-comet-of-wardell-gray\/\" target=\"_blank\">Writers looking to turn real life into dramatic narrative need look no further than the real history of American music<\/a>. Racism, resistance, creativity, invention, the power to shape global culture while enduring systematic repression, violence, drug use, and the countless personalities with memorable names set against the sprawling canvas of post-WWII New York City, Detroit, Chicago, and Los Angeles\u2013it\u2019s all there.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Writers should always have a backup plan.
