This Week in Google Alerts: R.A. Lafferty

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.

And Tim Powers, two steps below Laff literarily, and?ONE BELOW?Wolfe, I think is very worth checking out for another highly original Catholic writer of wonderfully bizarre fiction.

Oh my!?Well, I will admit Lafferty is a genius, but his failure to sustain a long narrative of such consistently high quality?definitely leads me to the opinion that Wolfe is the more disciplined and consistent writer.? Perhaps some of his stylistic explorations were more mundane, but ...........

okay, different strokes for different folks.
