Wolfe stories

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.

If you search the archive on urth.net, you'll find that there have been
quite a few discussions of individual stories, most started by someone
asking "What the hell was that all about?" I'd recommend looking there
first, but obviously feel free to put in your own thoughts. It might also be
worth checking the WolfeWiki at http://www.holkar.net/pmwiki/
