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.

Speaking of Wolfe getting old - something I've worried about before - do
you think the latest Latro book (where he's in Egypt) is the last in the
series?  I haven't read it . . . and I'm inclined to wait if there's
going to be another book in the series, since answers in Wolfe tend to
come late!

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.

Seems Mr. Wolfe is writing faster than Steven King these days.

	AN EVIL GUEST, Wolfe's new novel, is due out in
	mid-September from Tor. I've just received an Advanced
	Bound Manuscript, which comes to 526 pages, or about
	100,000 words all told.
