An Actual Wolfe Question

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.

How dare you post an actual Wolfe question to this list!
?
But anyway, I'm interested in such a pointer as well, for various friends who are in the same situation.

I've got a friend who's been on the fence about reading New Sun for a
few years. No amount of talk from me will get him to start it. Can anyone point
to an easily accessible review that seems to do a nice job of enticing someone
to get into it? This guy's patient, so length is no problem. In fact,
I'd probably give him Clute's stuff from Stokes if I still had my copy.
