Jack Vance, 1916-2013

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.

Although I have been expecting this for a while in the back of my mind, I
hoped it would never happen.  I find I am a bit numb.  Vance (along with
Wolfe) was a real hero of mine.  I spoke to him on the phone in 2010 for
about three hours.  He was truly a beautiful guy, and interested in so many
subjects.  He had the enthusiasm of a teenager and his curiosity was
contagious.  Long Live Vance.  May he rest in peace.
