The Land Across moratorium?

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.

_Last Letters from Hav_ is probably an early reference point for this genre.

City & the City's a very good conversation partner to bring in, yes!  I've only read the excerpt online of Wolfe's new book but having read Mieville's I can already tell they work in shadowing each other.  I recently read Wolfe's There Are Doors for the first time and it also is very Kafka-esque (referencing Kafka's works explicitly) and the excerpt of TLA reminded me of that earlier work as well.  -DOJP

  I also think that comparisons with Mieville's _The City and the City_ are necessary. Whether Wolfe read that or not (anyone know?), the two are definitely similar (and interestingly opposed) in many, many ways.

  I'm going to finish tonight, I have about 40 pages left.  Definitely into Wolfe houses.

    So when do we get to cancel the moratorium on TLA? I've read it once. Anyone else?

    Oh, how I long to discuss houses, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Peace...
