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.

Tony Ellis,

Re: the five stage hero of the brown book.

The shortest answer is:
 1. Birth
 2. Initiation
 3. Reign
 4. Repose
 5. Death

The medium answer is: read my essay ("A Closer Look at the Brown
Book") on the subject in "The New York Review of Science Fiction No.
54," 2-93.

The full experience is: read THE WHITE GODDESS by Robert Graves, then
re-read all the brown book stories, and finally, if you simply must,
read my essay.
