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.

Personally, I would consider "The Fifth Head of Cerberus" (meaning all 
three novelettes, of course) as a good introduction to Wolfe. I have to 
admit that I've had very little luck getting people interested in him, 
using that or "The Book of the New Sun." The prospect pretty much has to 
be interested in SF or Fantasy and be interested in "literary" fiction; 
not many are.
