The Dead Lady of Clown Town
"The Dead Lady of Clown Town" is a science fiction short story by Cordwainer Smith, set in his Instrumentality of Mankind future history. It was originally published in ''Galaxy Science Fiction'' in 1964. It was included in the collection ''The Best of Cordwainer Smith'' and most recently in ''The Rediscovery of Man'' short story collection. A graphic novel adaptation by Elaine Lee and Michael Kaluta was to have appeared in DC Comics during the late 1980s, but never materialized.
==Background==
Cordwainer Smith wrote several stories set in a fictional milieu called the Instrumentality of Mankind. Although humanity achieves a utopian state, people live sterile and shallow lives. The ''underpeople'' are animals who have been heavily modified to look human and have human intelligence. Despite this, they have no rights and are treated like animals, to be used and destroyed without qualm. The story takes obvious inspiration from the story of Joan of Arc. There are also points of commonality with the Civil Rights movement and the early Christians.
The story tells how D'Joan becomes a martyr for the underpeople, which leads to the founding of the religion of 'The Robot, the Rat, and the Copt' that stands behind the future vision of love and equality that forms the basis for the end of the novel ''Norstrilia''.
It is set at least seven generations before another short story, "The Ballad of Lost C'Mell".
