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.

I've been reading Wolfe for about 20 years now, since my early teens, and I have been absolutely stymied by how deep and nuanced you've all been in your theorizing and hypothesizing.  I hope to be able to hop into some of these discussion, but for now, thanks for the enlightenment.

From one lurker to another, I also say welcome.

One of my favorite reasons to read this list is following the tangents and other authors whose work comes up. I finally got around to Borges partially due to him being "required reading" for this list, and I've also been delighted following up on books by other list favorites such as John Crowley, Jeff VanderMeer and R.A. Lafferty. So aside from encouraging me to read more Wolfe and dig deeper into his work, I love this list for the web of other modern weird tales that spins out from the center.
