Gene Wolfe - When's the Next Book Due?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

May I make two qualifications to that staement??

Firstly my statement really applies to his works apart fron the Book of the
new sun which is always available, but it can be hard to find his other
work

Secondly I think it's a real shame he's a successful midlist author, he
deserves to be much better known. (Don't quote this out of context:-) )
Honestly what I really meant is that though yes you do always find Gene's
works in a bookstore, there's never enough.
