Gene Wolfe Covers

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.

Exquisite. A couple look like standard S&S, but I especially like the 
scene in the mountains before little Severian is killed. I like Severian 
as a monk, although it's not quite right---too brown.

The Lake of Birds is great for suggesting the opposite of S&S---it looks 
almost like a modern cover for a Victorian novel, and in a sense it may 
be the truest to Wolfe's literary side.

Who would be the woman with the sword?
