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.

Re: "Seven American Nights," heads up!  There is a good essay on this
and a couple of other Wolfe stories in "New York Review of Science Fiction
No. 95" (alga ought to have a contributor's copy of this issue).
Locey incorporates and responds to the Gordon interpretation: for one
thing, she claims that the sixth day is Good Friday rather than
Easter; and that by counting back from here we see Nadan arriving in
the foreign city on Palm Sunday; that there is no "missing day"; etc.

There's also a lot of info on the real theatrical plays involved; and
how the real plays differ from those presented in the story.  Neat stuff.
