Count Dead Narrators

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.

Re: "two dead heroes are okay, three or four are obsessive" or
whatever the numbers were, heh-heh, not to be too much of a mischief
maker, but let's count:

1. "The Dead Man"
2.  PEACE
3. "The Other Dead Man"
4. THE URTH OF THE NEW SUN
5. "The Changeling"?
6. "Checking Out"
7. "Forlesen" (another of my top favorites)
8. "The Packerhaus Method"
9. "Peritonitis"
10. "To the Dark Tower Came"?
11. "V.R.T." of FIFTH HEAD? (More a case of assumed identity?)

Did I leave any out?  Or overstate?  Surely I must be overstating it!
