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.

Just thought I'd update the list with news of Peter
Wright's book SHADOWS OF THE NEW SUN originally
announced by Liverpool University press for last year,
this year.

 Well the current plan is for March 2007, having
spoken to an editor at the press. 

The book does exist - I've read a manuscript - and it
is very good. It reprints a good selection of
interviews with Gene Wolfe covering from the first
publication of Shadow of the Torturer to recent
interviews with James Jordan. It also reprints a good
selection of prose writing by Wolfe, including "Books
in the Book of the New Sun" last reprinted in Plan(e)t
Engineering.

It isn't listed on the Liverpool University Press
website yet, and I doubt pestering them would do any
good. They also produce Wright's study of GW,
Attending Daedalus, and I would be remiss in my duty
if I didn't draw your attention to their catalogue.
