Gene Wolfe Symposium (UK)

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.

hi folks,

two things to tell you:

I'm off on holiday all next week (Paris!) but when I get back I will be=20
attempting to correct all the silly typos in Ultan's Library volume one.=20
If you've noticed any, could you make me a list.

Those of you who haven't looked at Ultan's library, I hope you'll like it:

Secondly - the symposium in the UK on GW is still on. 26th August=20
in the Dept of English at the University of Birmingham.

We have proposals from:
Nigel Price
Peter Wright
James Russell
Nick Gevers

Unless we can find a rich benefactor Nick will be unable to present=20
his paper in person at the symposium, as he is on the other side of=20
the world. The paper will probably be circulated first, although the=20
gallant organiser (me) may read it out for those involved.

As the number of proposals was a little underwhelming we plan to=20
include several round table discussions of certain aspects of GW's=20
work, which will hopefully enable those attending but not speaking=20
to get involve informally.

Upon my return I will be putting the abstracts on the website and=20
circulating them with further details to all those who have expressed=20
an interest in attending.

One further point. Several people have suggested we contact GW=20
directly and ask if he would like to say a few words, either written or=20
by videotape, to open the symposium. Does anyone think this is a=20
viable prospect?
