A fourth "Sun" series?

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.

Sorry to get your hopes up. I don't know any more than you do, but in light
of Wolfe's almost Oulipean symmetrical language play in the titles of "The
Island of Doctor Death", "The Death of Doctor Island", "The Doctor of Death
Island", and "The Death of the Island Doctor", can we expect the following
sequence to be completed sometime next millennium?

THE BOOK OF THE NEW SUN
THE BOOK OF THE LONG SUN
THE BOOK OF THE SHORT SUN

and finally

THE BOOK OF THE OLD SUN?

Cheers...
