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.

Isn't Wolfe seeing resurrection, the eucharist, and Peter the fisherman, not to mention the boat as the church?

Very interesting indeed.
And Peoria now...only 1.5 hours from Champaign. Hmmm...wonder if Mr. Wolfe would appreciate a delivery of homemade cookies. I nabbed a picture with him at the award ceremony in the crazy music box house, but wasn't able to stay for the banquet (cash-strapped grad student, you know the drill...that month I literally couldn't afford the extra $75 or whatever it was, and I'll probably always regret that. Still, I got the picture, and even made him laugh for a second or two. Appreciated that he was willing to stop, in the midst of being whisked from place to place).

Wolfe is obviously too subtle for me at most times (which is why I read this list), and I'm not sure what he's getting at with "never learned the name of the sailor" thing above. The three days and bloody drink make me think of some kind of undead resurrection, but I don't know (and also haven't read Dr. Moreau...). Any ideas?

That is an amazing and suprising interview. Not like anything others I've read before.
