There Are Doors

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 find that one of the more haunting of his novels. That and Peace, and Free, Live, Free.

I go out for one nice dinner with my wife and look what happens!

In brief, let me say that anyone who is interested in actually
listening to a commie pinko about these things can e-mail me, respond
at my blog (http://citizen-lane.blogspot.com) or just read up on your
own at http://www.marxists.org.  You might be surprised by how
inauthentic a picture of socialism one gets from a US education,
particularly in the realm of economics, where neoclassical liberalism
rules the roost.  We're not out of the shadow of McCarthyism yet.

Now, back to Wolfe.  I bought "There Are Doors" at a used bookstore
last week.  I am thoroughly impressed.
