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.

You do point out all the typos, etc., you've been able to catch in your book, right, Marc?? (I hope!? I think I gave away my Ace Fifth Head?when I got a shiny new one, unfortunately.)

Yes every edition but the Ace uses the Scribner flawed printing.?

See page 161- ?it must have weighed a good fifteen pounds? - I have had translators contact me and had to explain it should be fifteen hundred pounds.?

  I have the Charles Scribner's Sons edition of Fifth Head (New York, 1972). Is that one corrupted as well? Op 28-4-2019 om 01:16 schreef Marc Aramini:

 Copy editors managed to mess up the horn reveal in reprints of Long Sun and I insist the ace version of Fifth Head is the least corrupt. Wolfe was very mad about the switching of horn for I about two thirds of the way through exodus in reprints. He wanted the reveal at that dinner scene.?

  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. I am willing to act on this. ? Eric ? ? ? ******* Eric Bourland eb at hwaet.com https://www.hwaet.com/ ? ? From: Urth <urth-bounces at lists.urth.net> On Behalf Of Marc Aramini

 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:
