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 have news from Gene Wolfe and I'm simply going to quote it direct.

Says Gene: "You asked how Short Sun was shining. Pretty brightly at this
point, particularly if David Hartwell buys it. (Threatening letters may
help.) I have told him that by the end of June I should be through with the
second draft of the third book, RETURN TO THE WHORL. As of today that looks
pretty good; a little bit optimistic, but only a little. I'll do the final
drafts of the first book then, and hope to have it ready this fall. The
chief cloud on that horizon is that we're going to Readercon in July, to
the Worldcon in August, and to the World Fantasy Convention in October.
Biggers clouds will soon appear--they always do."
