    Extractions: The Lady Who Sailed The Soul by Cordwainer Smith I The story ranhow did the story run? Everyone knew the reference to Helen America and Mr. Grey-no-more, but no one knew exactly how it happened. Their names were welded to the glittering timeless jewelry of romance. Sometimes they were compared to Heloise and Abelard, whose story had been found among books in a long-buried library. Other ages were to compare their life with the weird, ugly-lovely story of the Go-Captain Taliano and the Lady Dolores Oh. Out of it all, two things stood forththeir love and the image of the great sails, tissue-metal wings with which the bodies of people finally fluttered out among the stars. Mention him, and others knew her. Mention her, and they knew him. He was the first of the inbound sailors, and she was the lady who sailed The Soul It was lucky that people lost their pictures. The romantic hero was a very young-looking man, prematurely old and still quite sick when the romance came. And Helen America, she was a freak, but a nice one: a grim, solemn, sad, little brunette who had been born amid the laughter of humanity. She was not the tall, confident heroine of the actresses who later played her. She was, however, a wonderful sailor. That much was true. And with her body and mind she loved Mr. Grey-no-more, showing a devotion which the ages can neither surpass nor forget. History may scrape off the patina of their names and appearances, but even history can do no more than brighten the love of Helen America and Mr. Grey-no-more.

    A featured review of the Gollancz edition of this novel at the SF Site, by Greg L. Johnson.  
    http://www.sfsite.com/10a/no90.htm
    
    Extractions: Born in 1913, Paul Myron Anthony Linebarger (Cordwainer Smith) was raised and schooled in China, Germany and other countries. At 6, he was accidentally blinded in one eye. A resulting infection caused him misery throughout his life. He received his Ph.D. in political science at age 23, wrote extensively about Chinese political issues, worked for the American intelligence community, taught Asiatic Politics at Johns Hopkins University and acted as an advisor to John F. Kennedy. During later life he became a devout Christian. He died in 1966 before realizing his plan to retire to Australia. ISFDB Bibliography Advertisement Dr. Paul Myron Anthony Linebarger was one of the more interesting figures of the 20th century. He grew up in China, Japan, France, and Germany, and spoke six languages by his teens. He was the godson of Sun Yat-Sen, and worked with his father as legal advisor to Chiang Kai-Shek. He became Professor of Asiatic Politics at Johns Hopkins University, and wrote the standard text on psychological warfare. And under the name Cordwainer Smith, he wrote one fantastic science fiction novel, Norstrilia Norstrilia is part of a large future history covering tens of thousands of years, and many colourful characters. Smith mainly wrote short stories, and readers of those stories will recognize several of the characters that appear in

33. Recommended Reading
    Short review of the Millennium Books edition of this book, by Indigo, at the Recommended Reading site.  
    http://www.siliconhenge.com/recommendedreading/reviews/rediscoveryofman.html
    
    Extractions: Possibly the most underrated SF author ever, Cordwainer Smith wrote only a few stories in his SF career. His only novel, Norstrilia, concerns the exploits of Rod McBan and his quest to acrue sufficient funds via a stock-exchange accumulator to purchase Old Earth, where he eventually finds his heart's desire in an ancient rare postage stamp (one of the ones with the aeroplane printed upside down) and the cat girl C'Mell. His other works, short stories and a couple of novellas are also set within the same universe, dominated by the Instrumentality of Mankind, a benign dictatorship that directs the lives of humanity throughout the galaxies. Smith spent much of his life in the Far East in the 1940s and 50s, and was apparently influenced by Eastern fables. His writing has a fairytale quality, and his use of themes such as love (The Lady Who Sailed The Soul), emancipation and martyrdom (The Dead Lady of Clown Town) and technological redundancy (Scanners Live In Vain) makes his stories at once socially relevent and timeless. It's possible that hard SF fans might be put off by the sense of whimsy in the books, and non Speculative Fiction types might not go for the offbeat weirdness - which is why I'm only going to give this book 9 out of 10. In my opinion, though, you'd be missing out if you don't buy a copy of this book immediately. Smith didn't just write great SF, he wrote great stories, period.

34. The Rediscovery Of Man
    Review of this book, by John Kane, at the ORBzine fanzine.  
    http://homepage.ntlworld.com/speculator/zine/9907bkre.htm
    
    Extractions: by John Kane Get your own copy HERE! Cordwainer Smith's stories in one fat, comprehension-boggling collection, the tenth Science Fiction Masterwork. Have you ever had the feeling - while thinking about local government, for instance- that while you understand something perfectly in itself, you have a perfect grasp of the nature of the beast, you cannot fathom why it is that way or what the hell it is doing there? Cordwainer Smith's stories strike like that. They are very good - they ought to be, if writing from experience has anything to do with it; the man himself has a very interesting biography. Godson to Sun Yat-Sen, expert on psychological warfare in several post-colonial campaigns, the man certainly has a great deal to draw from. One thing I do use as a distinction; I think there is a real, and massive, gulf between 'speculative fiction'- what science fiction nearly ended up being called anyway, before Guernsback saved us - and Science Fiction proper. It's a quality rather than a genre issue. Social Science fiction, you could conceivably say. Wondering what is actually going on in the human head while confronted by all these trappings of the future or the credibly other. Or you could call it as simple as science fiction with a genuine talent for and deployment of actual characterisation. By no means the case in the vast majority of science fiction novels. Let us be honest here; I mistrust psychology. Partly sour grapes (and why not?), partly that I feel that any mind drawn to the possibility of learning how the inside of other people's heads work should on no account be allowed to do so, but mainly historical grounds. You look at the crises successfully surmounted by the citizens of the past and at what we consider compensation-worthy degrees of trauma today, and you tell me whether the general level of mental health has risen or fallen. The very worst thing you can do for someone's mental health is to take the responsibility for it away from them, because to be helped is to become a dependent, losing all of your own integrity. All psychology is psychological warfare, in the Hobbesian sense in which no two individuals can even be said to be on the same side.

37. Cats, Cruelty And Children
    Full text of a recent article about Smith, subtitled Idealism and Morality in the Instrumentality of Mankind.  
    http://www.raingod.com/angus/Writing/Essays/Literary/Smith.html
    
    Extractions: Cats, cruelty and children Idealism and morality in the Instrumentality of Mankind "The Lords of the Instrumentality who are here on Fomalhaut III. There is the Lord Femtiosex, who is just and without pity ... There is the Lady Goroke ... who has shown kindnesses to underpeople, as long as the kindnesses were lawful ones. And there is the Lady Arabella Underwood, whose justice no man can understand." "The Dead Lady of Clown Town" Cordwainer Smith The science-fiction writings of Cordwainer Smith consist of some twenty-odd short stories and two novels, which chart the history of an evolving civilisation over some fifteen thousand years. The history is internally consistent, and each story contributes to a coherent picture of the technological, social and spiritual development of the future described. In real life, Smith was Dr Paul Linebarger, Professor in Asiatic Studies at Johns Hopkins university and colonel in US military intelligence, accomplished linguist and foreign policy adviser to the state department. His writing style, partly inspired by Chinese narrative techniques, more closely resembles poetry than the conventional dry prose of science-fiction, and his stories are dense with literary and historical references and more or less complex linguistic puns. Running through the entire work is a consistent morality and outlook, whose principal themes recur again and again in stories often written many years apart. The broad outlines of Smith's future civilisation can be briefly sketched. Travel between the stars and the consequent expansion of human culture through the universe is made possible by the invention of 'planoforming' ships that travel faster than light, and by the development of novel systems to protect their passengers and crew against the dangers of space. In this new interstellar culture, true humans live lives of privileged ease, while work is done by robots and by 'underpeople', animals genetically modified to have near-human intelligence and form. Over it all presides the Instrumentality, a benign but absolute dictatorship composed of a ruling nobility who use their technological and telepathic powers to maintain the status quo and to dispense an abstract and dispassionate justice. It is against this background that the principal themes of Smith's stories - love, courage, cruelty, hope, innocence, belief - are played out.

    Extractions: The shores of the night Some Rights Reserved. Dedicated to Cordwainer Smith One night on my homeworld, adrift on a warm little sea, I sailed in a small boat, the wind in her sails blowing free. With a pale star above me to guide me past island and shoal, I never intended to sail with a star for my goal. Now my bright sails of silver have caught the sun's light, And I sail the wide ocean past the shores of the night. I once met a sailor, her eyes they were distant and gay. She spoke like a girl, though I saw that her hair had turned grey. She spoke of her home, far away in both distance and time, And she spoke of the stars that had stolen the years of her prime. She told me my home-world was an island in flight, And the blue skies above me, the shores of the night. Now alone on my ship, in the starlight the long watch I keep, Endless the sea without harbor, the night without sleep. My youth with my loves and my sorrows falls light-years behind; Silver sails in the wind from the stars fill my vision and mind. And somewhere past the darkness, I long for the sight Of blue skies above me, the shores of the night.
