The Distant Suns of Gene Wolfe

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.

Now, **this** is funny:

"I recently asked a veteran New York editor whether Wolfe could find a publisher today if he were
just coming along as a young writer. ?Probably not,? she admitted. His writing is too religious,
too difficult, and too strange."

Heaven forbid that we request readers to actually **think**, now! 

Why didn't she just say "He's conservative, I'm a hip left-leaning NY publisher and I can't see
past the end of my viewpoint!"
