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.

Just noticed that the Summer 1999 issue of Extrapolation (40:2)=20
contains a piece by John Gerlach entitled

 'The rhetoric of an impossible object: gods, chems, and science=20
fantasy in Gene Wolfe's 'Book of the Long Sun'.

Not having easy access to this journal I downloaded it from the=20
website of www.northernlight.com. This is a service that provides=20
pay-per-view access to news, business, and scholarly articles. I=20
downloaded the piece for 2.95 dollars. Note that it looked as=20
though Mantis' Posthistory 101 piece is also available for paid=20
download, for those who haven't got access to 'Extrapolation'.

I must admit to being very busy so I haven't read it yet.  I noted that=20
the footnotes credit our little community. Are you out there John=20
Gerlach?

Will be adding this piece to the Ultan's Library bibliography as soon=20
