I just skimmed the\narticle (and I don't remember that much about Kelley from the books,\nto be\nhonest) so I can't say how relevant it is to the books."

          "text": "It will be relevant. It will give what is known of the facts of Kelley's\nlife and then it will speculate on whether he was a scam artist or\nsomeone genuinely given to hallucinations. I predict that with\nconfidence--there's no other reason to do a piece on Kelley. And that,\nof course, is what Crowley is also playing with. He leans toward\npresenting Madimi as real, since his thesis is that during a \"passage\ntime\" reality is stretched so thin that it is frayed, but he never quite\nasserts it; he also lets you know that Kelley is lying at least twice."

BTW, my interview with Crowley (somewhat different\nfrom the chapbook, though they overlap) is in the new Locus. Charlie\nBrown claims to have added to it, but in a quick skim through it I can't\nsee where. It looks just what I turned in. Hmm, I guess that's what we\ncall a seamless edit.\n\n-alga"
