And while much work has been done to change these views, more needs to be done.Īsian artists around the world have been responsible for some of the most exciting and eclectic music being released today. Some studies have suggested that East Asian performers face more discrimination over their music-making, with many considering their style as less expressive than caucasian acts. Asian musicians have long struggled in mainstream entertainment, often encountering stereotyping, exoticism and othering. ![]() Such achievements have been a long time coming. At Coachella, Diljit Dosanjh made history as the first South Asian artist to perform in Punjabi BLACKPINK became the first-ever K-pop group to headline the iconic music festival.

McDonald’s 26 books, 17 of them mysteries, sold tens of millions of copies, won two prestigious Edgar Awards, and inspired four feature films during his lifetime yet most young crime-fiction fans I talk to today have never heard of him. Jim Thompson, the author of more than 30 novels including The Getaway and The Killer Inside Me, was largely ignored during his lifetime but he became the darling of critics and Hollywood producers within a decade of his death in 1977. Literary immortality is an unpredictable thing. ![]() And behind the humor, he had some serious things to say about a host of American institutions from organized religion to the press. That’s a damn shame because McDonald was a gifted storyteller who peopled his crisply-written, very funny mysteries with irresistibly quirky characters. A Google search turns up no recent chatter about his novels, and very little since his productive life as a writer came to an end in the late 1990s.Īside from occasional late-night cable screenings of Fletch, a 1985 Universal Pictures movie starring Chevy Chase, McDonald’s most intriguing character also seems to be fading from American popular culture. ![]() ![]() ![]() Gregory McDonald has been dead for less than three years, yet already he seems in danger of being forgotten. ![]() 6/8/2023 0 Comments Bill bryson shakespeare review![]() ![]() ![]() The second (reviewed in Part II of this article), Judi Dench’s And Furthermore (Weidenfeld & Nixon, 2010) is a gossipy account of the actress’s career, full of anecdotes and mostly fond remembrances, dwelling satisfyingly on several of her major Shakespearean performances. The first, Bill Bryson’s Shakespeare: The Illustrated Edition (HarperPress, 2009) provides an entertaining and informative overview of Shakespeare’s life and subsequent surrounding scholarship.
