Wolfe covers

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.

On the other hand, people have objected to the Short Sun covers - but are they not, essentially, very faithful and literal representations of the contents of the books?

  Finally!  So good to hear someone complain about the ATROCIOUS covers Wolfe gets landed with.  I literally have to hide them from family and friends when I'm reading them so they won't (justifiably) judge a book by its cover.  They couldn't be more incongruous with the fine literary craftsmanship of their contents.  I long for the day when they will reissue his entire output in something with a design quality worthy of the artistic merit of the writing.
