I'm cheating

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.

Matthew, my friend is a historian, and my first thought was to do something on Crowley's Aegypt books...although I think that would be impossible in three days. I'm much more familiar with Wolfe, thanks largely to lurking here for so long. But I appreciate the recommendation (and will probably end up reading it again tonight while I put off writing).

Not Wolfe, but a perfect complement would be "Snow" by John Crowley. ?I found it in "20 Years of the Year's Best Science Fiction" (Dozois).

If I remember correctly, "A Recording" is also in The Very Best of Gene Wolfe, which will probably be easier to find.
