I freely admit it. Why this matters... First, I don't feel like re-typing the bush/brush quote from Shadow, but perhaps the more argumentative among you (the ones who could most likely answer this question) have memorized the passage already... As far as I know, I was the only one who attempted to retype the passage on the posting list, mainly for the benefit of others like me. This posed a a single problem, and a single benefit (which I have already stated indirectly). The problem was not definite, but, Murphy triumphed, and I took more flak (indirectly) fore that than I believe me typing it did good. I am sorry for that. I have already apologized. I do again. Anyways... I didn't get the quote entirely wrong (and I don't mean that I mis-spelled every word). I maintain my apology, but the replies to my post idicated only that bush should have been brush, and this is a faulted as my posting was. For anyone who didn't read an original copy, or for those of you who read 4 editions and failed to correct me ENTIRELY (taking a jab at MANTIS, j/k), the quote mentioned a bush and a brush. This is entirely not a typo. Some people prefer to look in four different editions (getting old? sorry) to prove this, but me, with my single edition, only have to remember that Wolfe, like so many other authors, use pronouns. He could have said another, or it, or something, if they were the same (or same type) of object. He didn't. Bush and brush. Different. That's that, I just felt guilty and wanted to clarify it, and, being lazy, lacked the willpower to retype, and possible mis-spell again, the passage directly. BTW, what's a brush? It obviousy has some significance, since people cared enough to post something about it, and I believe I heard short sun mentioned somewhere... (I haven't gotten around to short sun yet). And the other thing (with regards to my laziness), was that I am a self-proclaimed Wolfe fan, and I would hasten to procure (photo) copies of any Wolfe short stories not in his published collections, but with the information provided on the list so far, I think it would be more difficult than it could be. So, for the big request: could someone PLEASE post a complete list of uncollected Wolfe stories in loose MLA bibliography style? I know it's a large request, but it would be immensely helpful to myself and devoted others. Come on mantis... you haven't anything better to do...(last mantis jab, I swear. Mantis, I respect you and your work very much). «Lord ESN» ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael Andre-Driussi — 25 Mar 2002, 03:21 follows, by subject match Gage Kerrigan > G Willickers wrote: > For anyone who didn't read an original copy, or for > those of you who read 4 editions and failed to correct > me ENTIRELY (taking a jab at MANTIS, j/k), the quote > mentioned a bush and a brush. > > This is entirely not a typo.

I don't recall that you ever mentioned which edition you were quoting from. I don't have every edition; I am aware of a few different typos in the editions I have (the Easton Press edition has the most embarassing one, fwiw); thus as far as I knew it was completely possible for you to be correctly quoting from a corrupt text. You chide me for extending you the benefit of the doubt? (Re: textual variations. Dan Rabin is our specialist/memory man here, and I pause to remind him of the horrific variation in the omnibus edition of Long Sun, wherein "I" becomes "Horn." ) > So, for the big request: could someone PLEASE post > a complete list of uncollected Wolfe stories in loose > MLA bibliography style?

Best of all, I didn't do it--it was John Barach. =mantis= Sirius Fiction booklets on Gene Wolfe, John Crowley Now with UPDATES! http://www.siriusfiction.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William Ansley — 29 Mar 2002, 20:59 follows, by subject match Michael Andre-Driussi > As far as I know, I was the only one who attempted > to retype the passage on the posting list, mainly for > the benefit of others like me. I posted the same passage on March 19, which I quoted from pages 11 to 12 of the Timescape (Pocket Science Fantasy, how appropriate) paperback. I tried hard to insure my version matched the text; at least I had brush and bush correct. Didn't anyone see that message? At least it's in the Urth archives, Volume 203 (or is that 2/03?). -- William Ansley -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
