HARLAN ELLISON

SHATTERDAY

(1980)

Acknowledgments

When the time comes to assemble the indicia matter for one of my books I am invariably

astonished at how many dear friends, wise sources and dedicated readers have lent their

encouragement, store of obscure facts, concern and, sometimes, homes in aid of the creation.

To sum them without naming them, to say, “You know who you are,” would be to demean

their invaluable gifts at precisely the moment I needed them. And so, with your indulgence, a

compendium of worthy heurists, with love and thanks: Isaac Asimov; Haskell Barkin; Keith

Berwick; Victoria Bolles; Ben Bova; Jacques Brel; Ed Jack Danon; Richard Delap; Bill

Desmond; Leo & Diane Dillon; George Alec Effinger; Lori Ellison; Audrey & Ed Ferman;

Stacy Franchild; Kelly Freas; Kenneth L. Gross; Jim Harmon; Fred Harris & Carole

Hemingway of KABC-AM, Los Angeles; Gary Hoppenstand; the Iguanacon committee of the

36th World Science Fiction Convention; Walter Koenig; Shelley Levinson; Edward London;

Barry Malzberg; Lydia Marano; Sheryl Dichter Martin; Terry Martin; Vincent McCaffrey &

the staff of the Avenue Victor Hugo Bookstore, Boston; Thomas F. Monteleon; Michael

Moorcock; Jonathan Ostrowski; Tom Owen; Ms. Eusona Parker; Sue Pounds & the staff of

The Portobello Hotel, London; Charles Ryan; Mary David Sheiner; Robert Silverberg; Julie

Simmons; Linda M. Steel; Leslie Kay Swigart; and with greater sense of loss than I can

convey, to the memory of Victoria Chen Haider, my editor at Playboy, who dies on 25 May

1979 in the crash of a DC-10 in Chicago.

Jim Blish once dedicated a book to me.

He did other things for me:

He introduced me to the music of Charles Ives, to the taste of Vander Flip, to the

urgency of avoiding the said-bookism, to the concept of the watershed, to the pleasures of

Indo-Ceylonese food.

He taught me the value of uncompromising literary criticism and the absolute

necessity for perfect grammar, and I try, Jim, God knows I try. But the most indispensable

lessons he taught were how badly I could write when I wasn’t paying attention, and how I

could be king of the world when I did the work with love and courage.

Jim is gone now, but for all that, and for much more, this progress report, this book,

with respect and friendship, for

JAMES BLISH

Shatterday

Fear is implanted in us as a preservative from evil; but its duty, like that of other passions, is

not to overbear reason, but to assist it. It should not be suffered to tyrannize in the

imagination, to raise phantoms of horror, or to beset life with supernumerary distresses.

--DR. JOHNSON
