First sight of An Evil Guest

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 wish Wolfe would write as fast as King.  The sad truth is that Wolfe is
getting up there in age.  Already, my other favorite SF/F writer, Jack
Vance, has retired (although he is dictating an auto-biography)largely due
to blindness and old age.  I think Wolfe may have four or five more novels
left, perhaps another collection.  'Tis a sad thought, but one that cannot
be ignored.

Anyway, I am curious to know if An Evil Guest if closer in style to
Castleview and Free Live Free, or more like Peace and 5HoC.  Either way, I
will be content.  Just curious.
