I apologize if this has already been discussed on the list. Is anyone in contact with Gene's children regarding his papers and correspondence? I'm curious whether they'll be donate…

Folks on the list have mentioned flowers or letters sent on to Gene in honor of Rosemary. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be appropriate to pool our resources here and make a signific…

Absolutely. I was hoping to hear about some of you Wolfe scholars having something like this in the works. Or examples of other bios of speculative fiction writers that would be wo…

I've said that reading Williams was what taught/trained me to be able to read and appreciate Lafferty. I've read GREATER TRUMPS, PLACE OF THE LION, and DESCENT INTO HELL, and I thi…

I’ve been following the discussion on The Sorcerer’s House here with interest. This is the first Wolfe book I’ve read through and then immediately re-read. A few things I’m still…

Huh. I had never heard of a cloud nine . . . fascinating. No, I'm afraid the solution is much more mundane than that, very much along the lines of "invisible water". -Steve…

I've published a second story that the list may or may not be interested in. I link it here simply because I consider myself a writer heavily influenced by Wolfe (and would of cou…

I've been working on French translation as well, and so when a French translation of CASTLEVIEW (which I've never read in English) showed up on BookMooch, I snagged it. Turns out …

Since we're on the topic, I'd just like to say that I would pay for a well-done t-shirt with the slogon "Silk for Calde" scrawled across it. Maybe with the silhouette of a man and…

In response to the comments on it not being a good idea that everyone should vote, this was a main premise in Heinlein's Starship Troopers. In that society, you weren't considered…

This is perhaps a bit off-topic (and perhaps also a bit self-promoting), but in the vein of other writers who Wolfe-readers might possibly enjoy: my first short story has been publ…

All this talk of proposed Wolfe symposiums or whatnot has me wondering: where can one hope to run into Wolfe around the Chicago area? I mean, he lives around here, doesn't he? I'…

Some may not agree with the idea that Horn fled into Babbie, but if Marc is right and it did happen, it explains one question I had about the very end of the books: Why doesn't Bab…

Wow. Horn fleeing into Babbie. How'd I miss that? (In the books, understandable; but on the list, inexcusable.) Thanks Marc, that explains a lot and fits nicely. Not sure I fol…
