Lurulu ist die unmittelbare Fortsetzung zu Kaleidoskop der Welten und Jack Vances Schwanengesang, wie er selbst gesagt hat. Myron Tany ist weiterhin mit dem Trampfrachter Glicca unterwegs von einem Hafen zum anderen, auf der Suche nach Abenteuern und seiner Tante Hester, die ursprünglich mit ihm zusammen ausgezogen war, um den berühmten Jungbrunnen zu finden. Mit an Bord sind solche illustren Zeitgenossen wie eine Gruppe Priester, die auf dem Weg ist, eine Weltbegehung zu unternehmen, und die Schaustellertruppe um Moncrief dem Mausreiter, die auf ein besonders spektakuläres Engagement am Trevanian-Theater hofft. Doch bevor er sich um seine eigenen Angelegenheiten kümmern kann, hilft Myron Tany Kapitän Maloof bei dessen privaten Schwierigkeiten mit seiner Mutter - wie sich herausstellt ein hochgradig gefährliches Unterfangen. Lurulu by Jack Vance. Well, maybe so. But what's a rule without exceptions? And this year's prime exception to the above dictum must be Jack Vance's Lurulu . The tale is a continuation of 1997's Ports of Call wherein began the interstellar peregrinations of Myron Tany. He is a young man of independent disposition whose Wodehousian aunt, Dame Hester Lajoie, left him stranded on a far planet of the Gaean Reach after he sought to come between her and an oily adventurer who so obviously meant to separate her from her wealth and her private space yacht, the Glodwyn. An enterprising sort, Myron soon found himself a berth on a tramp freighter, the Glicca, captained by the resourceful Adair Maloof and fully laden with a crew and passengers drawn from the grand Vancean repertory company of loquacious rogues, philosophers, pilgrims, dreamers and waifs. And off they all went in search of individual destinies and the ineffable quality called lurulu: "a special word from the language of myth," says Captain Maloof. "It is as much of a mystery to me now as when I first yearned for something which seemed forever lost. But one day I shall glance over my shoulder and there it will be, wondering why I had not come sooner." In the new book, the search continues in a desultory manner. The Glicca wanders from planet to planet, taking on and discharging cargoes, while the crew visits taverns to sample varieties of bitter ale and more potent beverages like Ponchoo Punch. It is a pageant of worlds, some civilized, some wild, some hospitable to strangers, some less welcoming to the traveler's knock. Along the way, a villain is tracked and captured. The pilgrims squabble and debate, eventually departing to fulfil their destinies. The showman Moncrief and his troupe of Mouse-riders perform remarkably then move on. And, in time, Dame Hester is reencountered, as well as the girl, Tibbet, to whom Myron had plighted his callow troth. Among the Vanceans who cluster in certain nodes of the Internet, early readers of Lurulu have voiced queries as to the even, almost placid, tone of the tale. Opportunities for perilous adventures across wild planetscapes or for outbreaks of derring-do in the rescue of maidens or thwarting of swindlers are lightly passed over. When all is said and done, there is much more saying than doing, a great deal of it taking place in port directors' offices or in the saloon of the Glicca. But Myron Tany, though ill used by Dame Hester and her paramour, is no Kirth Gersen out to undo a handful of Demon Princes. He is that other kind of Vancean protagonist, a young man out to find his place in the worlds, his lurulu. And so he does, learning an occasional bittersweet lesson along the way. I never counsel readers to seek to analyze an author from his works, but I think to see in this (possibly last, though I hope not) novel from Jack Vance a summing up of a life lived. I believe that Lurulu offers an old man's truth that is no less profound for being simple: that life is a voyage whose significance is not to be found in the arrival but in the journeying. Myron and his shipmates find that their hearts' desire is not some far-off planet to be located through star charts or a close reading of the oft quoted Handbook of the Planets. Nor is it some abstruse state of being to be achieved in the course of a painful pilgrimage over sharp flints and around the rim of an angry volcano. Instead, lurulu is here and now, in the warmth of friendship, in shared encounters with the vast and multifarious throng of humanity strewn across ten thousand worlds, each with its signature brews of hearty ales and each with its sunsets painted from a unique palette of vermilion and amber, magenta and old gold. So the tale is not about a beginning, a middle and an end, strung along a definable arc of character. Instead it is a celebration of life in the living, and an urging to grasp this fleeting moment and know it to the full. So, Lurulu offers not story, but wisdom, lovingly wrapped in the distinctive, ironic voice of Jack Vance, which alone is worth the price of admission.

    COSMOPOLIS Number 57 January, 2005 And So It Ends SUBSCRIPTION know, we’re not done yet, but for someone who’s been I with the VIE for as long as I have (Volunteer # 76) the time remaining is vanishingly small compared to the eons DEADLINE is that have gone before. I’ve just received my last assign- JANUARY 25th! ment, and it’s like... well, the ‘last’. You know, like when you leave some place—house, employment, country—and lvl you’ll suddenly find yourself doing ‘last’ things.

In contrast to this consider those sentence marks we don’t notice, because they, like someone wrote about Jack’s style, are Contents invisible, and by their implicitness serve to make limpid that which otherwise would be hidden.

And, Work Tsar Report . .2 let’s face it, everything could just be ‘last’—because of our ignorance about what will be tomorrow, or maybe in the Joel Riedesel next few minutes, that will retroactively turn any given action into a ‘last’, by anybody’s definition.

  • New Pulp-Related Books and Periodicals Available from Michael Chomko for August 2006
    New pulp-related books and periodicals available from Michael Chomko for August 2006 In just a few days, I’ll be off to the latest edition of Pulpcon, held this year at the Convention Center in Dayton, Ohio. I’ll have two tables at the show and hope to see many of you in attendance. If you’d like to pick up any books that you have on order with me, just let me know. For more information on Pulpcon, please visit their website at http://www.pulpcon.org/ If copies of the Pulpcon program book, The Pulpster, are available for sale, I’ll try to get some. If you’re interested in one, please let me know as soon as possible. Since quantities are usually limited, these will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. In the past, they have cost around $5. As usual, before moving to the new books, I’d like to remind you that I offer a discount of approximately 10% on orders over $20. The prices listed in my catalog are list prices (rounded to whole dollars). So your cost will be about 10% off the prices listed (unless an item is marked “no discount”). There are some books, particularly those from Lulu.com, on which I cannot offer a discount. Shipping is between $2-6, depending on the weight of your order, as long as you are happy getting your order shipped via media mail or bound printed matter. If you prefer UPS or priority mail, shipping will cost more. Shipping outside of the United States will also be more.
