How list works and questions to mailers

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.

As a Wolfe newbie - I can't answer that question but I have another of my own.  Is there any online interviews of Wolfe talking about BotNS?

I thought 'Hayfork' was just someone pulling my leg but sure enough, there it is, and not terribly far from Cummings, where my family vacationed a few times at a small resort called Big Bend.  Pynchon lived thereabouts while writing Vineland.  Or farther north maybe.  And R. Crumb the comic artist lived in the Willits/Pottersville area in the 70s or 80s, I think.  So there's yer cultcha.  And not to be so continually off-topic: 

Here's a Wolfe query:  What is the author's intent in making the Book of the LS and the Book of the SS so very different in style, both from each other and from the NS?  Has he made mention anywhere of his decision, specifically, not to tell Silk's story in the first person?  What is gained?
