  • The Zen Master's Comics: Self-Awareness And
    19 NEW MODES OF SELF-FASHIONING THE ZEN MASTER’S COMICS: SELF-AWARENESS AND POPULAR CULTURE IN GLEN DAVID GOLD’S I WILL BE COMPLETE ALEXANDRU BUDAC West University, Timişoara Abstract: Raised in a chic California mansion at the peak of the counterculture movement, novelist Glen David Gold recounts the tormenting relationship with his estranged parents, and especially with his bohemian and deeply troubled mother. When the latter leaves him alone in San Francisco, at the age of twelve, he has to find ways to survive and attend school. I assess how comic books, movies, music, Gold’s passion for the Japanese culture, and his perception of time make for the labyrinthine structure of his memoir. Keywords: Glen David Gold, American memoir, San Francisco, comic books, Jun’ichirō Tanizaki 1. Introduction: mother and son Is the need to confess considerably stronger nowadays than it used to be? Probably not, but we have found the means to make this need a public – and global – asset. Or at least many people belive it to be so. Technically, in the age of the Internet and social media, everyone’s private life might come under everyone’s scrutiny and it is increasingly difficult to tell the mere online confession from dishonest self-advertising, or truth-telling from malicious fabrications. Assessing the impact of generalized “confessionalism”, as he calls it ironically, on memoir writing – a venerable genre besieged by fraud and commercial success during the last decades – William Giraldi (2018: 99) notices that “social media has turned untold citizens into hourly memoirists in miniature. We live now in a culture of incessant confession and self-discovery: a non-stop spelunking into empty caves.” It comes as no surprise then that professional writers stand up for the memoir as an artistic form and genuine self-examination, rather than self-interest.

She is spending her summer working as an acrobat with the cirque while her husband, Theo, is translating a biography of the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Late one night, Kay fears someone is following her home. Surprised to see that the lights of the toy shop are on and the door is open, she takes shelter inside. The next morning Theo wakes up to discover his wife is missing. Under police suspicion and frantic at her disappearance, he obsessively searches the streets of the Old City. Meanwhile, Kay has been transformed into a puppet, and is now a prisoner of the back room of the Quatre Mains, trapped with an odd assemblage of puppets from all over the world who can only come alive between the hours of midnight and dawn. The only way she can return to the human world is if Theo can find her and recognize her in her new form. So begins a dual odyssey: of a husband determined to findhis wife, and of a woman trapped in a magical world where her life is not her own.

Good news, everyone: Lightspeed won a Hugo! The 2014 Hugo Awards were presented at Worldcon in London last month. Prior to this year, it’s been my great honor to have been nominated for six Hugo Awards for editing: three for Lightspeed in the Semiprozine category and three for myself personally in the Best Editor (Short Form) category. Up until now, both Lightspeed and myself had each been 0-3 in our respective categories. If you’re reading this editorial then you probably already know that this year both Lightspeed and I were again nominated in the two aforementioned categories. But now THE STREAK HAS BEEN BROKEN: Lightspeed won the Hugo Award for Best Semiprozine! I immediately started a new losing streak by losing the Best Editor (Short Form) award to Ellen Datlow, but naturally I’m thrilled that Lightspeed took home the prize.
