A Cabin on the Coast

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.

Yes, absolutely.  I think one source of their resemblance, and the
similarity of other Wolfe stories, is due to Wolfe's absorption of
Robert Graves's The White Goddess.
