PEACE: geography and interviews

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.

I think Wolfe is fairly straightforward in that interview, but I also
don't recall a lot of the kinds of questions he tends to be devious
about ("who killed who?," "which egg was drugged," "what does Silk see
when he thinks he sees Pike's ghost").  Wolfe seems to answer these
things sometimes, but really regard them as "cheating" on our part if
we have to go to him.
