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.

Fred Kiesche:

"The back of the book does not say much about Wright, but the name rings a
bell. The only other credit they list is a book on British TV...did he
write/co-author a book about Doctor Who as well?"

Wright is also heavily into film studies. He does anaylze sci-fi television.

This might be the book you're thinking of:

Marc Aramini:

"the slightly narrow materialistic interpretive scheme of "Attending Daedalus""

You have to be pretty familiar with Wright's theoretical basis to
grasp his thesis. I think it's a valid reading of the novels though I
don't agree with all of it. I was actually a little disappointed in
Shadows as I already was familiar with most of that information,
either in print or on-line.
