Pirate Freedom mention

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.

Hi all,

Long-time lurker here, de-lurking ... :-)

SciFi Newswire (scifi.com/newswire) talks about the upcoming issue of
F&SF devoted to Wolfe. In doing so, it mentions Pirate Freedom:

"Wolfe said that the ideal of freedom has been running through his work
lately, and "Memorare" is just one manifestation of it. "March's hopper
[spacecraft] is a 21st-century version of Chris' pirate ship in Pirate
Freedom [to be published in September]," he said. "Chris is the son of a
mafioso in Cuba. He slips backward in time to the great age of [western]
piracy, lives for about two years as a sailor, a buccaneer and a pirate,
then slides forward in time to the time of his own birth."

More info on the F&SF issue (sounds like a must for GW fans) at:

Best regards,

Mark
