New Wolfe novel on Amazon!

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.

Out November.

Well, at least I won't have long to wait after finishing HOME FIRES.

Which I am now a little more than half through, and I am just NOT getting
it, I'm afraid. The weird modern Wolfe tics are just seeming semi-autistic
at this time. All the talking, all the laying out of the little secrets
people have or are trying to hide.....the endless "boat hijacked" thing
that is ceasing to feel either exciting or meaningful....I imagine the talk
of memory wiping is a clue that lots of weird Wolfean stuff is going on I'm
not seeing but.....this is so far my least favorite Wolfe.

I reserve right to change mind before finishing.
