Authors ~ Maureen F. McHugh Originally from Oklahoma, Maureen McHugh got her Masters in English Literature at New York University, and she was generally bumming around New York when bang. She went to China and came back a writer. At least, that's my take on it, but I am no expert. McHugh has an extensive web site , which is always a plus in my book, and on it you can find a number of very lively, amusing, and insightful essays about various aspects of science fiction, and her life. I haven't read it yet, but Half the Day is Night is a really great title, don't you think? It keeps recurring in my mind, different aspects and resonances flipping through my mind. Still, the book that won her attention is her first: China Mountain Zhang , nominee for hugo and nebula, and winner of the tiptree. Back in the United States after her pivotal trip to China, McHugh met her husband while doing tech writing for a medical company in Ohio. Then they were both laid off. The husband got work in Cleveland, and McHugh began writing full time.

Maureen F. McHugh:China Mountain Zhang This is one of the most interesting books I've read in a while. It's not really a novel, despite appearances. It tends to follow one character, Zhang Zhong Shan/Rafael Luis, but does wander off onto only partially-linked tangents with other main characters. No, this is really a collection of linked short stories. As such, there is no plot on the grand scale. This is a story of a man trying to find a place for himself, in a world where the U.S. has become Communist Chinese, and pure Chinese are the first-class citizens. Zhang himself is half-Hispanic, and American-born at that. Further, his name, Zhong Shan, is embarrassing because it's the name of a Communist hero (a.k.a. Sun Yat-Sen), which translates as "China Mountain". And, finally, he is gay, under a regime that considers it a capital crime. But he manages to carve a niche for himself anyway. Through a lengthy posting on Baffin Island, he gets a scholarship to a university in Beijing, where he learns a new technique called "organic engineering". By the end, he was returned to the States and is setting up his own business. It's an almost prosaic, very low-key succession of events. The reason it succeeds is that Zhang is a very interesting character. He's prone to underestimating himself, and expecting failure because of his background. Watching his confidence develop is one of the joys of the book.

Book Review "China Mountain Zhang" Maureen F. McHugh Review by: Duane Simolke Despite a virtual lack of plot or action, and despite the constant change of location, I thoroughly enjoyed Maureen F. McHugh's vision of the future. The homophobia of Communist regimes and other oppressive mind-sets helped create the dramatic tension for Zhang's character. This is imaginative writing from an author who obviously cares more about language and character than about writing something that most creative writing classes would use as a model for "proper" novel structure. I cared deeply about these characters, perhaps even more for the sympathetic and mistreated San-xiang than for the narrator, but certainly for him as well.

Review: Maureen F. McHugh, Half the Day is Night (sf novel) Alan P. Scott Rants Reviews Solid A solid sophomore effort from a writer to watch, and I'm not just saying that because she reads rec.arts.sf.written , to which I first posted this. I agree to some extent with the consensus I've gathered on that newsgroup, that China Mountain Zhang was a better book overall, but frankly McHugh's second-best is head and shoulders above most authors' primes. While I was in her submarine Caribbean banana dictatorship, I had no problem believing in it; McHugh has a way with verisimilitude that I think is essential for a good sf writer. I'll be looking for #3. Contact me: ascott@pacifier.com

Is the Nekropolis a symbol for their lives and relationships? MM: I found the old city where people live with death to be metaphorically rich, but I was careful never to work out the specifics. The people who hire my protagonist, Hariba, are distanced by comfort from the life and death concerns of those who live in the Nekropolis. I was careful, however, just to let that material work on a subconscious level. PW: Hariba falls in love with Akhmim, an artificial person created by mixing human and animal genes.

Title Author ISBN Imprint Series Your browser does not support script Nekropolis by Maureen F. McHugh Maureen F McHugh Nekropolis Paperback An extraordinary literary artist offers a powerful vision of tomorrow in a world barely touched by the passing centuries. There is life in the Nekropolis but no future. Hariba spent her youth here, among the exquisite paper flower wreaths her mother meticulously constructed, playing contentedly with other children around the rows and rows of old buildings housing the crumbling bones of the dead. But when an older brother's criminal indiscretion robbed Hariba of any possibility of a husband, she agreed to have herself "jessed" submitting to the technoblological process designed to render her docile and subservient to whomever has purchased her service. In this way, Hariba could escape the confinement of her surroundings and hopelessness of her fate...though she could never again be truly free. At the age of twenty-six, she enters the house of a wealthy merchant as an indentured servant. It is a new world for Hariba, filled with many wondrous objects and strange amusements that she has never before seen. But there is one thing in this place that greatly disturbs her: a harni

Elves Fantastic Tales Dragons Strange Worlds ... A-Z Nekropolis Maureen F. McHugh Eos, September 2001 ISBN:0380974576 Hariba, a poor young Near Eastern woman, sells herself into a slavery guaranteed by "jessing," a biochemical process that makes her permanently loyal to her owner. She would be content, if not happy, in her new house-servant's lifeif her mistress didn't own a harni. A harni is a chimera, a genetically engineered man who may or may not be human, but who is stunningly handsome and who treats Hariba with a gentle, attentive consideration she has never before experienced. The chimera, Akhmim, is so unlike Hariba's expectations that her fear and hatred give way to love and, impossibly, to dissatisfaction with her scientifically cemented loyalty. Hariba and Akhmin flee to the Nekropolis, the Moroccan cemetery/ghetto in which she grew up. But her family and best friend are unhappy to see her and horrified by the chimera, and running away from her bonded master precipitates a serious, potentially fatal illness. Her family and friends are too poor and too afraid of arrest to hire a physician. And the unfailingly patient and considerate chimera begins to have strange effects on the women in Hariba's life.

China Mountain Zhang Allyson Zipp What if the Chinese ruled the future? Mao's Communism hybridized with traditional Chinese culture the good of the many decided for good by the few ideological "Cleansing Winds" periodically sweeping the planet China a latter-day "Forbidden City" where residents enjoy the best of everything full employment for barbarians, either on Earth or the Mars colony for the less fortunate, the more troublesome, or the politically unconnected and everyone concerned about saving face. Welcome to Maureen McHugh's China Mountain Zhang , a showcase for an interesting and all too plausible Chinese-dominated 22nd century. The title character, Zhang, has been "bending like a willow" all of his life. He pays lip-service to the ideology of the faction in power and passes as ABC (American Born Chinese) by virtue of his parents' investment in some illegal gene tinkering. The colonial backwater that is New York provides just enough dead-end construction jobs to pay the rent and keep him off Mars. But now Zhang's Chinese foreman wants a son-in-law, the foreman's daughter wants a partner in Revolution, and Zhang wants to leave town, preferably on the next mag-train out. Zhang's flight takes him from laser-cutting ice at Antarctic research stations to the illicit pleasure palaces of Beijing, from psychotic breaks to strangely frenzied calm, around the globe, beyond, and back home. The standard quest-for-identity format, while familiar, provides a fine vehicle for McHugh's Chinese spin on the cyber-future, and her sense of humor about Zhang's coming-of-age angst keeps both pace and reader's interest up.

Beautiful Stuff A weblog for writers. Main September 11, 2002 Maureen F. McHugh Interview Strange Horizons has an interview with Hugo Award winner Maureen F. McHugh in which she talks about her new book, writing, and SF in general: I tend to think of science fiction as a fairly conservative genre. Stylistically it's also conservative. When you think of experimental writers in science fiction, they're not doing anything more experimental than Ulysses, by James Joyce, and that was [published] in 1922. Dos Passos used the same techniques that John Brunner would use fifty years later in what we thought of as experimental works, like The Sheep Look Up or Stand on Zanzibar. Right now, are there postmodern works in genre fiction? Is anybody doing the kind of self-reflexive stuff we see in cutting-edge literary fiction? Philip K. Dick did. I'm sure there are others.
