Short Story 82: The God and His Man

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.

Then again. the only thing more difficult than interpreting some of Wolfe's
more obscure stuff is deciphering the lyrics to Louie Louie by The
Kingsmen/Richard Berry - maybe this story combines the two in the ultimate
mess of indechiperability.  A radio stuck on Louie Louie.
