This Week in Google Alerts: R.A. Lafferty

Craig Brewer · 16 Apr 2012, 03:07 · from 2012-April.txt.gz

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.

As I recall, Locus actually published that they bought it. Didn't someone share the link on here?

And I would certainly buy a collection like the Vance one...even if the price was UNreasonable.

(And I'm about to start catching up on the stories, Marc...been a long, busy week.)

I foolishly passed on the Vance complete edition when it was being produced because I had read so much of his work already - if they did something similar with Lafferty I would almost certainly invest in it if the cost were at all reasonable, as I feel like the vast majority of his work is simply unavailable.

That was a strange event, the auctioning of his estate. So somebody bought it?? Maybe this grad student did. Huh.
