New interview

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.

Sounds indeed. My latest read-thru of New Sun was a "listen-through" from the audio versions that have been posted here before. Quite a different experience with many things standing out that didn't when I've read them before. (Also some unintentionally hilarious moments when the narrator tries to pronounce some of the unusual vocab, and even does it differently within the same paragraph...and then there's some questionable characterization at times...he makes Severian sound like a nasally git...but still quite enjoyable.) It would be wonderful to hear Wolfe read the whole thing.
