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 am in 1974 on Wolfe's fiction ... If you want I can write a fairly comprehensive essay by the end of November on 1975's Peace along with a general "metonymic reading" strategy for Wolfe's work.
 
I will have to skip over Forlesen and come back to it, as the novellas take too long to thoroughly explore. 

Lots of excellent work has been done on Peace because Wolfe gave away the key details in an interview without obfuscation, so there is less room for disagreement. I believe it is collected in Wright's Shadows of the New Sun (not the tribute anthology)
