New Wolfe 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.

I didn't realize the Amazon listing had shown up already, nor that the book
came out so soon. Home Fires is a novel. He talked about it at Readercon
2009 ? spoke about some characters, the setting, etc.

I wrote a post to Urth on Wolfe at Readercon in July of last year; the post
is presumably in the Urth Archives for July 2009.

Here's the relevant section of my report on Wolfe's comments:

(Minor spoilers, I suppose)

When I asked what Wolfe was working on, he talked a little about Home Fires,
the
second draft of which he finished in February. Apparently it involves
an energy-poor future Earth, an interstellar war, and complications in
love arriving as a result of time dilation.
