Lafferty's _Apocalypses_

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.

Congrats, Allan!  Thanks for sharing!  Always glad to hear about my
favourite author (and one of Gene Wolfe's favourites).

Dan'l, that's very interesting that it's your favourite book by Laff.  I
love it too, but I find a lot of fans more dubious, especially about the
first novella, 'Where Have You Been, Sandaliotis?'.  I thinks it's amazing.

(I wish there was an 'urthlist' equivalent for discussion of Lafferty's
works!)
