Wolfe in music?

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.

And yet I think Wolfe created Severian to appeal to that sort of 
audience. He has said repeatedly that initial seed to Severian was that 
he wanted a character fans could easily cosplay at conventions.
