  Spring Summer Asteroid Bird -...

  An introduction to Eastern storytelling that opens listeners' minds to radically different ways of telling a satisfying story. 
   
   
   
  Discussions in the West around diversity in the arts often focus on the identities of characters and creators. Speculative fiction author and writing instructor Henry Lien makes the pathbreaking argument that diversity is about more than just plopping different faces into stories that are 100 percent Western in spirit; it can—and should—encompass diverse structures, themes, and values. 
   
   
   
  Using examples ranging from Parasite to The Thousand and One Nights to the Mario video game franchise, Lien shows how storytelling staples in the West, such as the three-act structure and themes of empowerment and change, are far from universal. He introduces the East Asian four-act structure (kishotenketsu), as well as circular and nested structures, and explains how Eastern value systems such as collectivism can dictate form. Spring, Summer, Asteroid, Bird is essential for any writer or reader who wants to broaden their understanding of how to tell a satisfying story. 
   
   
   
  This audiobook includes an original song written and performed by the author.

  Philosophies of Language and...

  This book bundle contains the following three titles:  
  - Derrida: Jacques Derrida, one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, revolutionized the way we think about language, meaning, and interpretation. His development of the concept of deconstruction has left a profound impact on philosophy, literary theory, and critical thought. To understand Derrida's legacy, it is essential to explore the key elements of his intellectual journey and how his ideas continue to shape contemporary discourse. 
  - Deconstructionism: Deconstructionism emerged in the late 20th century as a philosophical and literary movement that fundamentally questioned the nature of meaning, language, and interpretation. It is primarily associated with the work of French philosopher Jacques Derrida, who, in the 1960s and 1970s, began to develop ideas that would challenge long-held assumptions in philosophy, literary theory, and critical thought. The movement was a response to structuralism, which sought to uncover the underlying structures that govern language and society. In contrast, deconstruction aimed to show that meaning is inherently unstable and that texts and concepts can never be fully fixed or understood in a singular, unchanging way. 
  - Michel Foucault: Michel Foucault, a French philosopher, historian, and social theorist, is renowned for his critical exploration of power, knowledge, and social institutions. Born in 1926, Foucault’s work spans a range of disciplines, from philosophy to sociology, psychology, and political science. His intellectual journey reflects a unique approach to understanding human societies, focusing not on abstract metaphysical systems but on the structures that shape human behavior, knowledge, and institutions.
