FREE LIVE FREE

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.

Michael Bowman,

Re: the different editions, from Clute's STROKES:

"Even the limited edition of the book [FREE LIVE FREE] . . . was so
clear and compulsive in the telling that it could be read at one long
go.  Slightly sharpened at points . . . and shorn of the dithery
Chapter 43 of the original version, FREE LIVE FREE now flows with an
unbroken liquid precision from this world to the last one, from dream
to a magically-achieved reality" (p. 162).
