Wolfe on writing

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 wondering about the new book of essays by Wolfe.  I
can't remember the title, but I thought the
subtitle/description was something like "Wolfe on Writing".
Has anyone read this?  Does it contain new material, or is
it simply a compilation of stuff that has appeared elsewhere
(for example, Castle of Days)?

Hey Scase,

I'm not sure if it is any different than what's in Castle of Days (I don't
own it.)  I can give you the technical specs on the book, though. It's
titled "Shadow of the New Sun: Wolfe on Writing/Writers on Wolfe." It's
edited by Peter Wright and published by Liverpool University Press. The ISBN
is 978-84631-058-4. No price on the cover of my trade paperback copy, but I
think I paid around $30  US at amazon.

Looking at the copyrights page, here's the list of where Wolfe's writings
originally appeared:

   - *Plan[e]t Engineering*
   - 10 original (copyrighted 2007) very short works
   - *The Writer, *1980

Hope that helps!
