Parallels

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.

Greetings:

In re-reading the tetralogy after (mumble mumble)
years, I was struck by something I did not notice when
I first read them: The parallels with "The Dying
Earth" by Jack Vance and the "Viriconium" tales fo M.
John Harrison.

Even odder, given that all three were published by
Pocket in the Timescape line around the same time. And
now all three are available as trade paperbacks!
