Suzanne's secret

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.

Yeh, lotsa Proust in Wolfe.

I guess my question is: Is there a fantasy element in "Suzanne Delage," and
if so, where is it? The story feels like *Peace,* so it is probably a ghost
story, but how so? Anybody know?

Anybody up for discussing "The Changeling"? I've read it about ten times
over the years, and it still puzzles me. I'll give it one more try and then
post my questions, if anyone wants to join in.
