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.

When I spoke to Wolfe at the Locus event in Seattle last year, he said
he was making progress on a third novel (after Pirate Freedom and Evil
Guest, and which Mantis later told me was to be titled _Sorcerer's
House_ ) about a confidence man who is released from jail and goes to
buy an old house in the country, offering to do the work of renovating
it in exchange for a deal on the price.  His offer is accepted in
accordance with the will left by the former owner, a dead sorcerer, a
will which mentions the man by name.  The novel is told in the form of
letters to the man's twin brother and to his former prison cell mate.
