The Politics Of Gene Wolfe

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.

"Ya know the other thing about throwing knives, kid?"

"I dunno, what?"

"It's _deniable_"

  From: Rebecca Bushong-Taylor 

  I believe this is true.  Gene has told me that when they were younger, he and Rosemary would regularly practice throwing knives, in part as a way to keep the kids respectfully in line.  He strongly encouraged me to take it up.
