Illustrations Of Cordwainer Smith Stories - Pierre Lacombe
"Pierre Lacombe was the illustrator of the very first, 3-volume French hardcover edition of INSTRUMENTALITY published by Editions Opta in 1974. His work is similar enough to that of Virgil Finlay that I mistakenly had put these pictures on the Finlay page until someone set me straight. Here are some of his striking illustrations."

Cordwainer Smith's Cruelty and Madness: or Jacque Lacan on a Planetary and Universal Scale - Pawel Stachura
"Paul M.A. Linebarger was a military expert in Far Eastern politics and in psychological warfare, active in many countries during World War Two and two post-war decades. At the same time, under different pseudonyms, he published two remarkable psychological novels and many acclaimed science fiction stories. The present paper focuses on thematic similarities between Linebarger’s politics, psychology, and fiction. Importantly, Linebarger’s treatment of barbarism, madness, bodily mutilation and disfigurement is uncannily similar to certain tenets of Jacques Lacan’s psychology. Given Linebarger’s incredible biography, wide travelling, excellent education, and insider knowledge of American special operations, his imaginative fiction can be treated as a philosophy of world supremacy, or at least a mad gloss to American power politics in the early decades of the cold war.
Cordwainer Smith, science fiction, psychological warfare
This is a discussion of more and less exact similarities between three bodies of writing: Cordwainer Smith’s science fiction, Felix C. Forrest’s mainstream psychological novels, Paul M.A. Linebarger’s works on international politics and psychological warfare. These texts were written in the two decades after World War 2, are all thematically related to American hegemony in the world, and were written by the same person: Smith and Forrest are two pseudonyms of Linebarger, a political scientist, intelligence and propaganda expert, who wrote highly original science fiction, published mostly in the 1950s and the 1960s. Even a superficial reading of Smith’s and Forrest’s fiction is enough to see the influence of Linebarger’s incredibly interesting biographical background, including his work for the American military. The intention of the paper is not to psychoanalyze the fiction, or the work for the military, but to show striking similarities between the vocabulary used by the American writer and the paradigm developed by Lacan at the same time.1"

The Creation of Cordwainer Smith - Alan C. Elms
Science-Fiction Studies, 1984, 1J, 270-279
A biographical highly detailed overview.
"The eye destroyed in childhood had been replaced by a non-organic prosthesis, a glass shell covering a metal ball. Linebarger wore that prosthesis in his eye-socket for the rest of his life, just as the scanners wore a kind of prosthesis embedded in their chests, their control boxes. Linebarger's glass eye was less trouble-some that his remaining "good" eye (which continued to be an intermittent focus of disease and anxiety). But getting that glass eye necessitated a loss of sensory input, as with the pain-free but non-functioning sensory organs in "Scanners."
An interesting defensive reversal occurs in the story: instead of being blinded when their other sensory connections are severed, the scanners retain only the use of their eyes. For Linebarger, the loss of one eye had increased the importance of the other, and of vision generally. (According to his widow, "That was the one great fear of his life, to go blind. He would rather have been dead than blind. ") A similar defensive reversal involves the fact that Linebarger's eye had been pierced by a wire thrown at him. In the story, the scanners' senses are temporarily restored during "cranching" by a wire with a small sphere at one end, which must be tossed into the air to be activated.
Linebarger's experience of losing his eye as a child does not appear to have been solely responsible for the central theme of "Scanners" (and certainly not for the similar themes of his mainstream novels). But it may well have offered him a powerful set of metaphors and defensive reverse-metaphors to represent another sort of disaster in his life, his "cutting off' or restriction of ordinary human pleasures and social interactions as a means of controlling anxiety and maintaining self-esteem."

The Rediscovery of Cordwainer Smith - Carol McGuirk
Essay in Science Fiction Studies, July 2001.
"Smith's stories are often framed as fragmentary tales of long-ago events. "The Dead Lady of Clown Town" is set, according to Pierce's chronology, around 13,000 AD; yet the viewpoint of its narrator is firmly retrospective: "You already know the end-the immense drama of the Lord Jestocost.... But you do not know the beginning, how the first Lord Jestocost got his name" (223). Smith's readers look far forward, his narrators far back. His heroes, however, experience their story's crisis as urgently present, forcing choices and events that may (like Martel's rescue of Adam Stone or the cruel burning of D'joan) change the world. Smith abandons popular sf's futuristic narrative tone and unilaterally forward-facing plots, achieving full freedom (looking backward, forward, and inward) to express his horrified fascination with time, "which tricks man while it shapes him" (143). His preoccupation with human time goes along with a preoccupation with death that may seem extravagant to critics because it goes against the grain of sf's utopian heritage, its emphasis on progress and change: in mortality, Smith selects a human problem that can be palliated but hardly solved by technological or social innovations. It is at any rate unsurprising that religion is so often touched upon in these stories, with their emphasis on time and mortality and their frequent representation of painful or ecstatic separations of spirit and body ("Scanners Live in Vain," "Drunkboat," "No! No! Not Rogov!" [1959]). Allusion does not in itself,"

Smith/Linebarger Archives - Alan C. Elm
"There are two major archives of the papers of Paul M. A. Linebarger (aka Cordwainer Smith). The bulk of his fiction manuscripts, including his science fiction, is held by the Spencer Research Library, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. The bulk of his papers dealing with China, psychological warfare, and other topics connected with his academic and military careers can be found in the Hoover Institution Archives, Stanford, California. A few items are in other archives: e.g., the edited manuscript of his short story, "Alpha Ralpha Boulevard," is in the editorial archives of the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York. Syracuse University also holds some of his manuscripts of stories that were published in Galaxy Science Fiction."

Mythic Structures in Cordwainer Smith's Game of Rat and Dragon - Gary K. Wolfe
In Science-Fiction Studies, in 1977
"All three themes are evident in the short and widely anthologized story "The Game of Rat and Dragon." While this story on one level is a highly imaginative treatment of conventional themes of romance and heroism, it is also a revealing treatment of science fiction as a codification, perhaps "mythification," of contemporary beliefs and concerns. There are four principal sets of actors in the tale: "pinlighters," or telepathic humans; "partners," or intelligent cats used to assist the pinlighters in their dangerous duties; "dragons" or "rats," primeval interstellar beings that destroy or drive mad humans in space; and the ordinary humans whom 'the pinlighters and their cats serve to protect from the dragons. Each set of actors plays a particular symbolic role in the antinomy of known-unknown. The known is represented by the ordinary humans and their planetary environments-the "`same old ticking world,"' says the pinlighter protagonist Underhill. "`Down here with the hot sun around us, it feels so good and quiet. You can feel everything spinning and turning. It's nice and sharp and compact. It's sort of like sitting around home."' The unknown is clearly the realm of the dragons, which Smith de-scribes in images of elemental chaos: "entities something like the dragons of ancient human lore, beasts more clever than beasts, demons more tangible than demons, hungry vortices of aliveness and hate compounded by unknown means out of the thin, tenuous matter between the stars." When telepaths try to read the minds of those damaged by dragons, they find only "vivid spouting columns of fiery terror bursting from the primordial id itself, the volcanic source of life.""

Christianity and Science Fiction of Cordwainer Smith - James Jordan
"Discovering the writings of Corwainer Smith in the early 1970's was a life-changing revelation. At that time, neither his one novel, Norstrilia, nor any comprehensive compilation of his incredible short stories were in print. For years, I would scour used bookstores in search of his stories, finding one of his stories in this or that compilation, in print, not in print, whatever. Needless to say, his writing had a profound effect on me and I have striven to create worlds, in music and art and words, as strange, as haunting, and, I hope, as full of love as his works, amidst the weirdness. Not that I come close in that regard: but one must aim high. Smith's stories do not grow old. Interestingly, although he was almost unknown 25 years ago, he is regularly deemed the most influential science fiction writer of all time now. I recommend his books, Norstrilia and The Rediscovery of Man without hesitation."

Remembering Paul M. A. Linebarger, who was Cordwainer Smith: A Daughter's Memories
A remembrance article by his daughter, Rosana.
"I have quite a few memories of his writing science fiction. It was fun for him, something he did on the side. He would tell me with some glee what some obscure reference meant... too bad I don't remember most of those. I do remember his saying that his story title "Drunkboat" was from the French poem, "Bateau Ivre," by Rimbaud.
I asked him why he didn't want people to know that he was Cordwainer Smith. As I remember it, he said he didn't want to be bothered by fans. Also, he thought it might make some of his professional colleagues think less of him."

I call it that not because it's more serious than the fannish scholarship (some of which is very serious), but because it's done by people who make their living (or a good part of their living) as scholars."

Behind the Jet-Propelled Couch: Cordwainer Smith & Kirk Allen - Alan C. Elms
"Though I have yet to come across solid documentary evidence, I think the circumstantial evidence (including but extending well beyond Leon Stover’s recollections) is strong: Paul Linebarger was Kirk Allen, or at least a substantial component of Kirk Allen. It’s still possible that Robert Lindner combined two patients who suffered from apparently similar symptoms, better to conceal the identities of both and to make his main points about therapeutic technique more strongly. That other patient may yet pop up, and I’d like to hear about him if any reader knows him (or is him). Meanwhile, I’m working to finish my biography of Paul Linebarger. With or without the help of Robert Lindner, he became a great science fiction writer and a remarkable, fascinating man."

Forest Of Incandescent Bliss - Bud Webster
"And you know what? Most of these — check that, all of these — pale beside the finest writer the field has ever seen, the one against whom all others are never measured because it would be demonstrably unfair: Paul Myron Anthony Linebarger, known to his illustrious godfather (I'll get to it, don't worry) as Lin Bah Loh, or Forest of Incandescent Bliss, AKA Cordwainer Smith.
If I wanted to be all clever and post-modern, I'd deconstruct that pseudonym and tell you that "cord" not only refers to a woven strand, but a fabric made up of woven strands; that a "wain" is a wagon; and that a "smith" is a maker of things. I'd get one of those totally smug and supercilious little smiles on my mug and stretch those already-thin definitions to say something like "Cordwainer Smith wrote a wagon-load of intricately plaited and elaborately plotted stories." I might even get a grant.
But you don't need to pick apart the man's pen-name to know that. All you have to do is read any of the Instrumentality of Mankind stories, or his lone sf novel, Norstrillia, or, well, just about anything he wrote, really. But — and I'm not but about 12% facetious here — you do have to read him. There'll be a quiz even if I have to track you all down and come to your house."

"An anthology of articles about Cordwainer Smith in a 1975 booklet, Exploring Cordwainer Smith, edited and published by Andrew Porter has some interesting bits in it. I thought so several years ago when I read it, but I don't have my copy with me at present. I think it's of greatest interest to scholars and serious CS fans.
It includes articles by John Foyster, Arthur Burns, John Bangsund, and several other writers in its 33 pages, which also include a bibliography (as of that date, of course), and some background and chronology."

"The paperback book is 158 pages long: that's 104 pages of the text itself, followed by a glossary of CS terms, a bibliography, a list of manuscripts at the Spencer Research Library in Lawrence, Kansas, and an index. Its $35 price tag seems steep to me, but I suppose academic books tend to cost more than general interest ones, due to the smaller readerships. As a librarian myself, I can't help reminding you that your public or academic library may be able to get it for you on interlibrary loan. And there's a good chance you can get a used copy online; I have links at the bottom of this page."
