A God Strolling

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.

Referring to Ori's recommendation of Mario de
Carvalho's book: I strongly second this. A GOD
STROLLING is magisterial stuff, and as an account of
paganism hovering on the brink of Christianity, it has
particular resonances with LONG SUN.=20
Which leads me to a related topic: we've often spoken
of GW's affinities with the Robert Graves who wrote I,
CLAUDIUS; but what of other classicist historical
novels that may have bearing? Compare the narrative
voice of Severian with that employed in Marguerite
Yourcenar's MEMOIRS OF HADRIAN for a start.
