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.

Good news, my brother and sister Lupophiles.

GW has finished the first draft of his next novel, The WIZARD KNIGHT, and is
now about 130 pages into the second draft. Because of its considerable
length, he's anticipating (or at least hoping) it'll be published in two
massive volumes.

Given the narrative complexity of SHORT SUN, I asked about WK's
point-of-view, and Wolfe responded: "The narrator recounts his experiences
in first, but switches to third to reconstruct events he did not witness."

So keep your fingers crossed, and who knows, depending on how long it takes
GW to finish drafts two and three, and then turnaround time on the
publishing end, perhaps we'll be seeing the new work sometime late next year
or early the following.

In the meantime, I'll be dreaming of Aelfrice and all the likely Wolfean
wonders soon to be found there.
