January meme, Cordwainer Smith
Jan. 15th, 2015 01:57 pm(More meme slots available; comment here.)
snickfic asked me to talk about my experiences with Cordwainer Smith. I said a lot in this previous post; this will be a bit more meandering and personal.
( Library stacks, Ursula K. LeGuin, CS stories I love, allusions, and James Tiptree, Jr. )
One more thing: I cannot write this post without once again pimping my incredible Cordwainer Smith Yuletide giftfic, The Peaceful Ghost of Old Repose, which is crazy and wonderful and has poetry in it and ALSO A STEALTH ALLUSION CROSSOVER using my Yuletide letter, which I. Just. Also check out the comments, where the author talks about all the stuff that went into it, and alludes to the different meanings of the title <3
