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.

Funny. Unless Wolfe has changed his mind, there is a character named 
REES [phonetically represented because I don't know how it's spelled.] I 
asked him whether the similarity in this name and that of Bill Ries 
meant Home Fires was a continuation of AEG and The Tree Is My Hat. He 
replied, "I don't think the names are similar".

I responded "Really???". Then he immediately went into a story [cutting 
me off IMO] about how how he has messed up with naming in the past 
because the main character in The Other Dead Man was named Will Ries. In 
short, he didn't explicitly answer my question.
