Wolf bio

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.

Absolutely. I was hoping to hear about some of you Wolfe scholars having
something like this in the works. Or examples of other bios of speculative
fiction writers that would be worth emulating (or at least reading).
Questions a biography of Wolfe would answer. Reasons it should be written.
Discussion.

Funding? Who funds Borski's books of essays?
