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.

I'm hosting and administering it, but most of the contribution so far 
has been by Dan'l, Matt and Stone Ox (all of this list).

It certainly is very incomplete -- the bibliography, external links 
etc have come along pretty well, but the only works treated in any 
great analytical detail so far are Peace and the IoDDaOSaOS 
collection. But I think that what we have there for those is 
terrifically interesting, and provides a good model for the rest that 
will follow.

If anyone would like to come along and contribute capsule summaries 
of the missing works, you'd be very welcome on the wiki!

best,

Mo
