Sinossi

"Harappan Script" explores the enduring mystery of the Harappan writing system, a still-undeciphered script from the Indus Valley Civilization. Understanding this Bronze Age script is crucial, as its decipherment could unlock insights into the civilization's social structure and potential linguistic connections to later South Asian populations. The book delves into the script's characteristics, considering its visual aspects and frequency of certain symbols, while also evaluating past attempts to break the code. Intriguingly, the directionality of the script has been determined, and inscriptions have been found on various materials, offering clues to its purpose. The book presents a comprehensive overview in three parts, beginning with an introduction to the script and its physical attributes. It then moves into a critical assessment of past decipherment attempts, categorizing them to highlight their limitations. Finally, the book explores whether there are links between the Harappan script and later South Asian scripts, such as Brahmi, analyzing linguistic and archaeological evidence. Ultimately, "Harappan Script" emphasizes a rigorous, evidence-based approach to decipherment, encouraging disciplined research grounded in verifiable data, moving beyond speculative interpretations.

    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.
