Wolfe ebooks & stories

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.

In this morning's mail -

  Dear Rebecca,
     I recant.  I probably did write it, back in 1951.  I wrote a few short
pieces for the Commentator ? that was what got me started as a writer.  So I
read my own work from almost sixty years ago without recognizing it.
Considering that the gentleman is hugging 80, I suppose it's not surprising
that a few of these early little "gems" from the days before he even thought
of himself as a writer might have slipped his mind.  And that includes the
SH pastiche.  That was him, too.  Sorry to mislead you all.

Rebecca
