Wolfe's Out-of-Print Novels

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 didn't realize that these were all out of print! I knew "Ares" was, and
Wolfe has more or
less vowed that it will never be reprinted. Too bad, because it's actually
better (imho) than
one of the others...

Free Live Free (best)
Castleview
The Devil in a Forest
Operation Areas
Pandora, by Holly Hollander

-- the last being the only Wolfe novel I don't think I'll ever reread.

I once absend-mindedly ordered Three Mile Island dressing in a restaurant
and, with great presence of mind, they brought Thousand Island Dressing and
a bottle of chili sauce. -- T. Pratchett
