Cahokia Jazz 2023. Scribners, February 2024./div>div>/div>div class>i class>Cahokia Jazz/i> is a Prohibition novel, a jazz novel, a detective novel, and an excellent science fiction novel set in an alternate America, and the best new book I read in 2024 (it was published in England last autumn but I did not see a copy)./div>div class>The novel opens with the investigation of a gruesome crime by two Cahokia police detectives. Joe Barrow is a deracinated veteran of the an Indian orphanage school and the first world war. It’s a toss-up which was the harder school. Phin Drummond, is also a veteran of the trenches, a poor white opportunist and a joker in the face of death. Barrow plays piano in speakeasies and hotel nightclubs, and i class>Cahokia Jazz/i> rolls out to the plink and rumble of piano music from ragtime to Satie to Jelly Roll Morton./div>div>/div>div class>How many ways can the dominant Anglo-Norman colonial history of North America be subverted ? It’s one thing to invoke a distinguished name, as Spufford does with the novel’s sly dedication ; it’s another to deliver the goods. The narrative of i class>Cahokia Jazz/i> is not rote or formulaic but organically rooted in language and anthropology and invented historical documents. To get technical for a moment, the a hrefhttps://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/jonbar_point>Jonbar Point/a> is a milder Columbian exchange and the introduction of a less virulent strain of smallpox to the Americas, so that indigenous populations survive in larger numbers and the political and cultural shape of the continental United States is altered. St. Louis remains a small rural trading post ; on the east back of the Mississippi, Cahokia is the industrial powerhouse and nexus of commerce and transportation. This is another America, but certain characteristics persist and Spufford plays the tensions well : the polity of Cahokia is a syncretic multi-ethnic Catholic commonwealth with an indigenous American aristocracy whose matriarchal line of succession contrasts with the Protestant merchant-industrialist capitalists slavering at the opportunities they seek to create by fomenting unrest and playing the Red Menace card. An investor says, “One hopes that when the, ah, obstacles of the present arrangements have been cleared away, the place will still preserve its character. As much as possible, anyhow.”/div>div class>One arc of the novel is Joe’s recovery of hisi class> takouma/i> (indigenous) heritage through his connections with the Sun and Moon. The Sun is the de facto ruler of Cahokia — Harvard-educated, cosmopolitan descendant of the long line of princes, with a Boston Brahmin drawl, “long hair and earrings and a face the color of old, oiled wood”, and someone deeply attentive to the power of symbols. “The Man” gives Joe his card (like the em>span class>Provót/span>/em> “ASSIST” in Avram Davidson’s Eszterhazy tale “The Crown Jewels of Jerusalem”) to ensure the cooperation of the em>takouma/em> population, and brings Joe along to witness the Green Corn Planting ceremony in a rural suburb. Joe meets the Moon — the niece of the Sun, stylish couturière and cultural benefactor of Cahokia. She tells him the tale of Thrown-Away Boy and his brother Lodge Boy, and he accompanies her to a dinner at the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Algonkian Hotel./div>div class>At any moment the relationship between the two detectives could edge into Laurel and Hardy — or Natty Bumppo and Chingachgook, or the Keystone Kops — but it doesn’t. Cahokia is a gritty, stinking, beautiful city, seething in the build-up to a KKK riot, and as the detectives criss-cross the map in search of the murderer, they meet and interview individuals so distinctive — German gangsters, a tough-talking red-headed newspaper reporter, hicks, em>takouma/em> crazies and political activists and poets and office workers — that the moments of wit and levity never tumble into slapstick. There are many pleasures throughout the novel, some involving a sense of alternate possibilities. Spufford integrates ritual and mystery into a twentieth-century America : the appearance of the Four Winds Society when Joe joins the detective bureau is a rite of welcome by his colleagues in masks, but the power of that society is revealed when the police are suddenly ushered out of a i class>takouma/i> neighborhood by citizens whose masks no longer seem so benign. Another delight is the long scene in the Algonkian’s Catawba Room, where Joe meets the i class>takouma/i> cultural elite and a visiting professor of Anthropology, sits in at the piano with the band, and dances with the Moon. The week of the novel is packed with incident./div>div>/div>div class>“To arrest, for the space of a breath, the hands busy about the work of the earth”, as Conrad wrote : the effect upon the reader, that’s what it all comes down to. i class>Cahokia Jazz/i> makes it happen./div>div>/div>div class>The Endless Bookshelf book of the year 2024./div> /div>!-- .entry-content -->/article>!-- #post-## -->article idpost-1899 classpost-1899 post type-post status-publish format-standard sticky hentry category-critical-fiction category-henry-wessells category-science-fiction category-time category-zagava> header classentry-header> span classsticky-post>Featured/span> h2 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://endlessbookshelf.net/2024/10/01/another-green-world-by-henry-wessells/ relbookmark>Another green world by Henry Wessells/a>/h2> /header>!-- .entry-header --> footer classentry-footer> span classbyline>span classauthor vcard>img alt srchttps://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9c7acf8a14faa1032f934ffbcd6468ea?s49&dmm&rg srcsethttps://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9c7acf8a14faa1032f934ffbcd6468ea?s98&dmm&rg 2x classavatar avatar-49 photo height49 width49 decodingasync/>span classscreen-reader-text>Author /span> a classurl fn n hrefhttps://endlessbookshelf.net/author/hwwadmin/>Henry Wessells/a>/span>/span>span classposted-on>span classscreen-reader-text>Posted on /span>a hrefhttps://endlessbookshelf.net/2024/10/01/another-green-world-by-henry-wessells/ relbookmark>time classentry-date published datetime2024-10-01T11:26:27-04:00>1 October 2024/time>time classupdated datetime2025-01-08T09:21:22-05:00>8 January 2025/time>/a>/span>span classcat-links>span classscreen-reader-text>Categories /span>a hrefhttps://endlessbookshelf.net/category/critical-fiction/ relcategory tag>critical fiction/a>, a hrefhttps://endlessbookshelf.net/category/people/henry-wessells/ relcategory tag>Henry Wessells/a>, a hrefhttps://endlessbookshelf.net/category/science-fiction/ relcategory tag>science fiction/a>, a hrefhttps://endlessbookshelf.net/category/time/ relcategory tag>Time/a>, a hrefhttps://endlessbookshelf.net/category/publishers/zagava/ relcategory tag>Zagava/a>/span> /footer>!-- .entry-footer --> div classentry-content> p>Zagava Books will be publishing em>strong>Another Green World/strong>/em>, a collection of short fiction much expanded from the a hrefhttp://www.avramdavidson.org/Anothergreenworld.html>2003/a> work with the same title, and containing several previously unpublished stories.

Tartarus Press, 2024./div>div class stylepadding-left: 40px;>p>A wild short novel of doublings, tricks of memory, serious ontological ambiguities, and the perils of close involvement in the life and writings of a neglected author. Tanya and Caroline were friends from university days, though Caroline had become reclusive after her husband’s death. Caroline, literary executor of one hit wonder and horror novelist Cyril Heldman, had resurrected his name and formed an online community of readers (we see a bit too much of the hostile behavior that such small stakes games can provoke). Caroline gets back in Tanya’s life when she lands on Tanya’s roof: a corpse fallen from the empty sky. At the heart of the novel is and a house in Wales where time stands still, and the the Sixtystone, the object from Arthur Machen’s “Novel of the Black Seal”, which confers dangerous powers upon those in proximity. The resolution is deeply shocking, sudden and unexpected and seamlessly integrated into the narrative, even if some of the interesting implications are not fully explored. The ending is restorative and curiously cozy, almost pastoral./p>div class styletext-align: center;>— — —/div>/div>div>/div>div class>(MELVILLE, HERMAN). i class>Melville’s Billy Budd at 100.

The Romance Novel in English. Gallery Guide. Cover title. Illustrated. 64 pp. The Lilly Library, 2024.br />Curated by Rebecca Baumann, this remarkable exhibition, a hrefhttps://libraries.indiana.edu/lilly-library/love-library>em>Romance in the Library/em>/a>, likely the first of its kind, charts a revisionist history of English literature, with emphasis on women as readers of novels from the eighteenth century to the present, and claims an oft-scorned modern-day marketing genre construct — the romance novel — as a badge of honor. In the heyday of the gothic, which included the sentimental as well as the historical and supernatural, writing novels was an economic activity open to women even while the reading of them by women (especially young women) was viewed as unsuitable. Baumann’s retrospective claim is an assertion that works pretty well, but one has to abandon one’s preconceptions to find more than superficial kinship between em>The Wild Irish Girl/em> or em>Pride and Prejudice/em> and modern formula fiction. The shift from novels aimed at a genteel readership to a vast popular appetite for novels of romantic entertainment is rooted in greater educational opportunities for women at all economic levels and the nineteenth-century achievement of near universal literacy. A welcome and provocative exhibition.br />Jane Austen’s em>Pride and Prejudice/em> (1813) is in original boards, untrimmed.

On the Self-Reflexive Page II. Illustrated throughout. 298,4 pp. Amsterdam: Roma Publications, 2021. Pictured at right./p>p>I pulled this from a shelf at a hrefhttps://www.irisimprint.com>IRIS/a>, a nice bookstore in Montclair that just celebrated one year as an open shop. I remembered the title from a decade ago and was curious to see what the new iteration would hold. The emphasis is similar, reflections on pages in literature that perform in a different mood than prose text, from Laurence Stern’s em>Tristram Shandy/em> (1759-67) to Walter Benjamin, André Breton, Harry Mathews, Donald Barthelme, and other recent writers. This new edition, with different images of marbled pages from em>Tristram Shandy/em> for its covers, is much expanded, with more examples of pages : black, blank, drawing, document, photography, and text pages; and the essay is more discursive and takes in a wider scope of material than in the first edition (at left, above), which I had grabbed at a Printed Matter art book fair in the autumn of 2012 and noted a hrefhttps://endlessbookshelf.net/archive0312.html#Self-Reflexive>here/a> , with a visual nod to the allusions to em>Tristram Shandy/em> that anchor the book. The 2010 edition is a book of 128 numbered pages, followed by a concise, unpaginated essay of 32 pages (including notes and bibliography)./p>p>The first edition included a loose leaf, a em>Prière d’inserer/em> or “review slip” :/p>p>img loadinglazy decodingasync classalignnone size-large wp-image-1969
