This year’s Nebula Awards were presented at the Nebula Awards Weekend event, May 16-19, in San Jose, CA. Lightspeed had two finalists in the short story category: “Give Her Honey When You Hear Her Scream” by Maria Dahvana Headley and “The Bookmaking Habits of Select Species” by Ken Liu. Alas, neither story took home the prize, but of course it was a huge honor to be nominated. Congratulations to Aliette de Bodard, who won in the short story category for her story “Immersion” (from Clarkesworld), and congrats to all of the other winners as well. In happier award news, the Locus Award finalists have been announced, and we’re pleased to report that your humble editor has been nominated in the best editor category. Finalists for this year’s Theodore Sturgeon Award have also been named, and our own Ken Liu is on that ballot as well—not once, but twice: for his Nebula- nominated Lightspeed story “The Bookmaking Habits of Select Species” and his Hugo Award-nominated story “Mono no aware,” which we’re featuring in this issue as one of our reprints. With our announcements out of the way, here’s what we’ve got on tap this month: We have original fantasy by Megan Arkenberg (“The Huntsman”) and Christopher Barzak (“Paranormal Romance”), along with fantasy reprints by Theodora Goss (“Princess Lucinda and the Hound of the Moon”) and Gene Wolfe (“Suzanne Delage”). Plus, we have original SF by Sarah Grey (“The Ballad of Marisol Brook”) and Sylvia Spruck Wrigley (“Alive, Alive Oh”), and SF reprints by Paul Park (“Get a Grip”) and Ken Liu’s current Hugo Award finalist (“Mono no aware”). And of course we have our usual assortment of author and artist spotlights, along with feature interviews with bestselling authors Nalo Hopkinson and Robert J. Sawyer. For our ebook readers, our ebook-featured novella is “The Fool's Tale” by L. Timmel Duchamp, and the featured novel excerpt is from Abaddon’s Gate by James S. A. Corey.

Timmel Duchamp In September, 1589, a storm of “baffling winds” blew a Danish fleet carrying the sixteen-year-old Anne of Denmark off course, to the coast of Norway. Anne, the daughter of Frederick II, King of Denmark, had just been married by proxy to James VI of Scotland (who fourteen years later would accede to the throne of England). The fleet was within sight of Scotland, the story goes, when the storm struck. James and other persons of importance decided that witchcraft had caused the storm, and several Danish women were burned at the stake. Malice toward the fleet’s admiral, Peter Munch, not against James or Anne, was given as the motive. Munch, according to contemporary sources, had “boxed the ear” of a merchant and thereby enraged the merchant’s wife: “Quhilk storm of wind was alleged to have been raist by the witches of Denmark, by the confession of sundrie of them when they were burnt for the cause. What moved them was ane cuff, or blow, quhilk the admiral of Denmark gave to ane of the bailies of Copenhagen, whose wife being ane notable witch, consulted her cummers, and raised the said storm to be revengit upon the said admiral.” Though the women who paid for the storm with their lives were Danish, James himself had a great terror of witches and did his best to fan anti-witch hysteria in his own country. Claiming that judges who were “lenient” with witches were pawns of Satan, he participated in “examinations” of suspected witches personally and wrote Daemonologie (1597), a nasty piece of hate- literature framed as a learned treatise on the subject. Convinced that the Earl of Bothwell was employing a number of witches to murderous ends against him, he supervised the torture of the suspected witches and conducted their interrogations himself, resulting in the “discovery” that the “baffling winds” that blew his bride’s fleet off course had been caused by a group of women known as “the witches of Lothian.” The said witches had accomplished this feat by casting cats that had been bound to the severed joints of dead bodies into the sea. The man’s take on his world was definitely paranoid (a condition not atypical in powerful men of the day). But to give credit where credit is due, we must acknowledge that such ideas about witchcraft, women, and the supernatural originated with the perverse ideas two women-hating German Dominican inquisitors, Heinrich Institor Krämer and Jakob Sprenger, had conjured up more than a century earlier in their infamous Malleus Maleficarum, or “Witches’ Hammer.” With the authorization of the complementary papal bull by Innocent VIII, Summis Desiderantes Affectibus, this fabulous duo took their inquisition on the road through most of Western Europe, far beyond the Rhineland, their original sphere of operations. As is well known, the paranoia they whipped up had a devastating impact on European society, particularly on women. The Malleus was indeed a blunt instrument, or “hammer.” Besides inspiring authority-sponsored terrorism, it had the additional effect of preventing men like James I from ever imagining creative forms of magic not cast in the ugly, constipated, Malleus mold, much less perceiving its practice right under their very noses. But though the ferocity and indiscriminate wildness with which the hammer was wielded did not crush the practice of enchantment by adepts, it did, eventually, drive such adepts underground—and, finally, to extinction. Since the spectacle of hammer-wielding maniacs in positions of authority provokes a certain streak of perversity woven through the fabric of my personality, I take the greatest pleasure in disseminating a tale of magic told (if not enacted) right under that very king’s nose. The tale has been pieced together from five manuscript fragments written on quarto-sized pages that were found in a sheaf of folio-sized sheets of music that had been wrapped in silk and kept in a thick leather pouch recently discovered in the false bottom of a Jacobean chest stored in the attic of the house of a distant descendant of a cousin of two Jacobean courtiers, Lord Harington and his daughter, Lucy, Countess of Bedford. Lord Harington was the tutor of Princess Elizabeth, James’s daughter, who eventually became the “Winter” Queen of Bohemia (so- called because her husband’s election to that throne, contested by the Hapsburgs, set off the Thirty Years War).1The Countess of Bedford was one of the most influential courtiers of her day, holding the Number-One spot among Anne of Denmark’s Ladies of the Bedchamber; she collected art as well as patronized several artists and poets, including John Donne and Ben Jonson.

In medieval court circles, this sensitivity was activated through a pervasive sense of aware, a poignant reflection on the pathos of things. This sensibility became the motivating force for court verse, and ARTICLE HISTORY through this medium, for the mature projects of the ukiyo-e ‘floating world First published in picture’ artist Katsushika Hokusai. Hokusai reached back to aware sensibilities, Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2015, Vol. 47, No. 6, subjects and conventions in celebrations of the poetic that sustained cultural 579–595 memories resonating classical lyric and pastoral themes. This paper examines how this elegiac sensibility activated Hokusai’s preoccupations with poetic allusion in his late representations of scholar-poets and the unfinished series of Hyakunin isshu uba-ga etoki, ‘One hundred poems, by one hundred poets, explained by the nurse’. It examines four works to explain how their synthesis of the visual and poetic could sustain aware themes and tropes over time to maintain a distinctive sense of this aesthetic sensibility in Japan. Introduction: Mono no aware How can an aesthetic sensibility become an activating force in and through poetic and pictorial amalgams of specific cultural histories and memories? This article examines how the poignant aesthetic sensibility of mono no aware (a ‘sensitivity to the pathos of things’) established a guiding inflection for social engagements of the Heian period (794–1185CE) Fujiwara court in Japan.

  • Noh Theater and Religion in Medieval Japan
    Copyright 2016 Dunja Jelesijevic RITUALS OF THE ENCHANTED WORLD: NOH THEATER AND RELIGION IN MEDIEVAL JAPAN BY DUNJA JELESIJEVIC DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in East Asian Languages and Cultures in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Elizabeth Oyler, Chair Associate Professor Brian Ruppert, Director of Research Associate Professor Alexander Mayer Professor Emeritus Ronald Toby Abstract This study explores of the religious underpinnings of medieval Noh theater and its operating as a form of ritual. As a multifaceted performance art and genre of literature, Noh is understood as having rich and diverse religious influences, but is often studied as a predominantly artistic and literary form that moved away from its religious/ritual origin. This study aims to recapture some of the Noh’s religious aura and reclaim its religious efficacy, by exploring the ways in which the art and performance of Noh contributed to broader religious contexts of medieval Japan. Chapter One, the Introduction, provides the background necessary to establish the context for analyzing a selection of Noh plays which serve as case studies of Noh’s religious and ritual functioning. Historical and cultural context of Noh for this study is set up as a medieval Japanese world view, which is an enchanted world with blurred boundaries between the visible and invisible world, human and non-human, sentient and non-sentient, enlightened and conditioned. The introduction traces the religious and ritual origins of Noh theater, and establishes the characteristics of the genre that make it possible for Noh to be offered up as an alternative to the mainstream ritual, and proposes an analysis of this ritual through dynamic and evolving schemes of ritualization and mythmaking, rather than ritual as a superimposed structure.

CAO Three hundred years ago, in the summer of 1720, the bursting of the South Sea Bubble marked the first recorded stock market crash. The ensuing financial crisis provided great fodder for the British satirical press, which took to caricaturing both the company’s gullible victims and manipulative executives. Among the rich material trove of that historical moment are a pair of prints published by the London shop of John Bowles and Carington Bowles.1 Titled The Bubblers Medley, or A Sketch of the Times: Being Europe’s Memorial for the Year 1720, the prints depict a scattered array of paper artifacts in collage-like, random fashion. Sheets overlap and furl on the edges, creating a trompe l’oeil effect that encourages viewers to misread the artwork as a collection of the actual ephemera it represents. Trompe l’oeil–style prints like these, also called medley prints, developed in 1700s London, and in the century that followed they enjoyed episodic popularity, often at moments of fiscal uncertainty. As Mark Hallett argues, this print type, like other satirical images referencing public discourses and debates, was meant to be read as well as viewed.

What was your first literature? I didn’t know science fction existed until I was eighteen; then I fell in pretty deeply. The frst book I remember reading was Huckleberry Finn, and I still have that copy of the book with me, it has a gorgeous cover depicting Huck and Jim pulling a caught fsh onto the raft, in vibrant colors. For years I pretended to be Huck Finn. My parents subscribed to the Scholastic book of the month club, and I read those when they came in the mail pretty much the day of arrival. I read everything that caught my eye at the library when I was a child, then as a teenager did the same, but became a fan of locked- room detective mysteries, chiefy John Dickson Carr but also Ellery Queen, and all the rest of that crowd from the 1930s. Then just as I was leaving for college I ran into the science fction section at the library, all the books with their rocketship-and-radiation signs on the spine, and that was very exciting. In college I majored in history 78 | Kim Stanley RobinSon and literature, and on the side majored in science fction, absorbing the New Wave pretty much as it happened.
