Interlibrary Loan

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.

Maybe those are the words that make sense of the allusions to chess in the book, allusions that are never really developed in the book as we have it today.

Operation ares got clusterfucked by tens of thousands of words. They sure butchered the last sentence of my story in the Wolfe tribute anthology lol. Damon knight changed the whole structure of trip trap and Wolfe agreed. Hartwell left well enough alone.

I've never been sure how much leeway an editor really has. Would they really cut whole scenes they didn't like?? Do they redo things wholesale or just fix things and make recommendations? ? Since Wolfe picked this editor, can we rely on his pick?? Even if Wolfe were alive, how much of the editor's influence would make it to publication?? And if the answer is the editor has a lot of sway, how many of his edits would the author notice on review?

I like to have faith that Wolfe (who so carefully constructed each work) anticipated the possibility of posthumourous publication and made appropriate plans for that eventuality.

I am wondering what result we would get if, individually and noisily, we reached out to Tor editors and implored them to do basic proofreading on the new novel, but make no changes in its substance, and publish it as Mr. Wolfe wrote it.

Subject: Re: (urth) Interlibrary Loan?One hopes. Yes that?s how I feel about those who would edit Wolfe.he can create meaning in so many ways that every reader will certainly miss, especially in his post 2000 work. ?(I?m glad cell phones made top posting the de facto response - I remember the days of the list when it was a sin.) I have always preferred it.?

I'm reminded of a scene from The Insider, although Mr. Wolfe would probably not ever take this tone:https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/ 724e8b4b-0515-48cf-b7f2- e49501158ca4?Surely any editor would know by now that Gene Wolfe chose his words with care??Best,Evan???On Fri, Apr 26, 2019 at 3:48 PM Marc Aramini <marcaramini at gmail.com> wrote:
