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 Vance, who else has written "dying earth" stories? I know we like to call it a subgenre, but how widespread is it, really?

The only other example I can think of offhand is Michael Shea's "sequels" to Vance's series.

I remember there was some discussion a while back of Jack Vance's
autobiography. Apparently Subterranean Press is publishing it in 2009.
I'm guessing I won't be the only member of the Urth list to order a
copy. No word yet as to whether or not this is a Subterranean 
exclusive, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were: I doubt there's a
huge market for it.
