	NO-EYED MONSTER #5 - Page 19 - The Rosy Gloom Of Cordwainer Smith - John Robinson
		While Smith is creating a group of characters that somehow thrive in a vacuum of isolation, save that they themselves are thrown together, the reader follows from impossible scene to impossible scene and makes his way through the "sense-of-wonder" to find the missing parts for himself.
		We finally gave up guessing when Galaxy stated that Cordwainer Smith taught sociology near Washington, D.C. It was later revealed that he was in New Zealand and that he had been a diplomatic assistant in the orient, where science fiction had helped him to become friendly with important foreign officials.
		Smith may shorten that wait in future stories, or he may jump to later times than those of Rod McBan (as he did in "On The Storm Planet") and merely give us clues to what follows.

	The 2002 Cordwainer Smith Rediscovery Award
		Cordwainer Smith exploded on the field in 1950 with a story titled "Scanners Live in Vain." In those early days of the genre, a time when fans could easily keep up with all published science fiction, that story and the others that quickly followed created a sensation.
		One of his Smith's themes was that in the distant future, long after the human species has gone through dramatic changes and forgotten its past, those who remained would rediscover that which had led to the world of their tomorrow.
		Recognizing this, the family of Paul Linebarger, the man who was behind the Cordwainer Smith pseudonym, created the Cordwainer Smith Foundation, in order to preserve the memory of their father and his work, as well as the ideals for which he stood.

		What Smith had in mind for the story of the Robot, the Rat and the Copt, which would have dealt with the rediscovery of the Trinity may never - perhaps fortunately - be known.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Norstrilia
		The themes are a fusion of Smith's political opinions and his religious philosophy, and unfortunately, we'll never know exactly how it was all going to end because he died in 1966, with much of the story yet untold.
		Regardless of the political and philosophical depth of his writing, the real reason to read Cordwainer Smith is for the sheer enjoyment of it.

	LINEBARGER, Paul - personal data

	Visitors From Science Fiction
		Cordwainer Smith's science fiction resembles Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy, in that it takes place in a far future universe that is completely different from both today's society, and the work of other science fiction writers.
		Smith evoked Taoism sympathetically in one of his last stories, "Under Old Earth" (1966), and clearly Taoist ideas were important in his work.
		Smith's title is a variation on a quote from William Cowper's hymn "Light Shining Out of Darkness", the one that begins "God moves in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform".

		Finally, under the pseudonym Cordwainer Smith, Linebarger wrote a whole series of stories and novellas about a time in the far future when a suppressed Christian underground (the Holy Insurgency) faces a stultifying humanistic hierarchy (the Instrumentality of Mankind).
		Smith's peculiarities arose from his medievalism, while the "New Wave" was often simply trying to be bizarre.
		A second factor is mentioned by Arthur Burns: Linebarger "once said that Cordwainer Smith was a `pre- Cervantean' " the stories are like cycles of medieval legends, without the Aristotelian beginning- middle- and- end of classic tragedy, and certainly without the same structure as transposed into the modern novel, which Cervantes began.

	Review: The Rediscovery of Man by Cordwainer Smith
		With most of his stories written in the 1960's, Smith was certainly in a position to borrow liberally from Golden Age genre SF, much of which I am unfamiliar with.
		Some of the commentary in the book suggests that Smith used a Chinese narrative structure (he lived several years in the Orient, among other places), but since I'm also unfamiliar with Chinese storytelling, I can't say if that particular type is or not.
		Cordwainer Smith was a pseudonym for Paul Linebarger.

		Apparantly most of Smith's fiction is set in a common future.
		He also comes into contact with the Underpeople, animals reshaped into humans to act as disenfranchised servants, whose struggle for enfranchisement is said to be one of the themes of Smith's work.

		Written in an unadorned voice reminiscent of James Tiptree Jr., Smith's visions are dark and pessimistic, clearly a contrast from the mood of SF in his time; in the 1940s, '50s, and '60s it was still thought that science would cure the ills of humanity.
		At the time, Smith simply sold a few stories to a few SF mags, but it turns out that they were interconnected vignettes from a vast future universe and mythology that Smith was creating in his mind for decades.
