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.

I like to remain optimistic and think that a great
writer can find a market in any period. Were Wolfe
writing right (oh yeah) now as a young man he would
produce something entirely different than the pulp
informed, Tolkien and Graves influenced works we
appreciate. It's faulty logic to try to imagine his
past works as new releases in our present.

p.s. Cry, Theanthropos, cry.
