Tracking Song

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 wrote some thoughts on this novella (from *The Island of Doctor Death and
Other Stories and Other Stories*) on my Gene Wolfe blog here:

I love this story.  Does anyone know if it's referencing any myths or
anything?  And did you notice how it pre-references some themes from the
Solar Cycle (such as vampire-bat-people, different sizes of humans,
forgotten technology, etc.)?
