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.

Chip Delany?  I was just about to say something about how the SF author that avoids objectifying women has a very good ingrained reason NOT to objectify them, but Delany will always be about that slightly vulnerable but very sexually liberated young male hero/outcast.  Funny you mentioned his name.  Trying to think about his female characters now.
