  From master comedian Mark Schiff, a long-time touring partner of Jerry Seinfeld, comes a hilarious account of decades of foolery with comedy and acting legends and how he honed his mensch skills in all of life's arenas. 
   
   
   
  Pursuing a career in comedy has always taken a lot of chutzpah. Today Mark Schiff looks back at his fifty-year career as a stand-up comic, actor, and writer and knows he's laughed with the best of them. His comedy and character have been widely praised by everyone from Jerry Seinfeld to Bill Maher, Paul Reiser, and Colin Quinn—as Seinfeld writes in his foreword, Mark is "the greatest comedy pal a guy could ever wish for"—but it hasn't always been easy. 
   
   
   
  In this brilliantly honest collection of essays inducing both heart tugs and deep belly laughs, Mark recounts growing up Jewish in the outer boroughs of New York City and shares how he survived a harrowing childhood and managed health crises, aging, marriage, parenting, and career highs and lows. With wit and wisdom, Mark reminds us that no matter the troubles at-hand, the show must always go on. The result is an unforgettable and highly relatable account from one of the best humor writers of our time that will leave listeners of all faiths energized and feeling like they've schmoozed with the best of them.

  Christopher Columbus and the...

  "Christopher Columbus and the Afrikan Holocaust," by John Henrik Clarke, shatters the hero's-journey narrative surrounding Columbus, exposing him as an architect of exploitation. The book recasts the "discovery" of America as a brutal invasion, paving the way for centuries of Indigenous suffering and laying the groundwork for the African Holocaust – the transatlantic slave trade. 
   
  Clarke argues that neither Indigenous nor African subjugation was incidental. Instead, they were calculated moves fueled by insatiable European greed. The book deconstructs the myth of benevolent colonization, revealing its core as a resource-hungry machine reliant on forced labor and extraction. This system, christened "European capitalism," thrived on the dehumanization and exploitation of entire populations. 
   
  Clarke doesn't merely paint a grim picture; he also illuminates resistance. He highlights the agency of colonized peoples, their unwavering fight for freedom despite unimaginable suffering. This Pan-Africanist perspective weaves together the struggles of both Indigenous and African peoples, demonstrating the interconnectedness of global oppression. 
   
  Beyond historical analysis, the book serves as a potent call to action. Clarke urges readers to confront the legacies of colonialism and slavery, dismantling the very systems that perpetuate inequality. He doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths, demanding critical examination of narratives that continue to shape our understanding of the world. 
   
  This book is not for the faint of heart. It confronts sensitive historical events with unflinching honesty, potentially exposing readers to disturbing descriptions of violence and oppression. Yet, through its unflinching analysis and unwavering call for justice, "Christopher Columbus and the Afrikan Holocaust" offers a crucial roadmap for navigating the complex legacies of the past and building a more equitable future.

  It Can’t Rain All the Time - The...

  A passionate analysis of the ill-fated 1994 film starring the late Brandon Lee and its long-lasting influence on action movies, cinematic grief, and emotional masculinity
  		 
  Released in 1994, The Crow first drew in audiences thanks to the well-publicized tragedy that loomed over the film: lead actor Brandon Lee had died on set due to a mishandled prop gun. But it soon became clear that The Crow was more than just an accumulation of its tragic parts. The celebrated critic Roger Ebert wrote that Lee’s performance was “more of a screen achievement than any of the films of his father, Bruce Lee.”
  		 
  In It Can’t Rain All the Time, Alisha Mughal argues that The Crow has transcended Brandon Lee’s death by exposing the most challenging human emotions in all their dark, dramatic, and visceral glory, so much so that it has spawned three sequels, a remake, and an intense fandom. Eric, our back-from-the-dead, grieving protagonist, shows us that there is no solution to depression or loss, there is only our own internal, messy work. By the end of the movie, we realize that Eric has presented us with a vast range of emotions and that masculinity doesn’t need to be hard and impenetrable.
  		 
  Through her memories of seeking solace in the film during her own grieving period, Alisha brilliantly shows that, for all its gothic sadness, The Crow is, surprisingly and touchingly, a movie about redemption and hope.
