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.

Nutria,

Re: Broken Mirrors and typos.  While not denying what you wrote,
we are to cut some slack for BM because:

(1) it really is a micropress;

(2) it provides affordable Gene Wolfe stuff for the masses (BIBLIOMEN
and EMPIRES OF FOLIAGE AND FLOWER were both originally Cheap Street
books);

(3) Gene Wolfe gave Bryan Cholfin a standing ovation when Cholfin won
a World Fantasy Award in 1995; and

(4) BM has gotten out of the book business to focus on its magazine,
"CRANK!"

As for the story in question, since I don't have the Cheap Street
edition I was hoping against hope that the story would be found in
the special Wolfe issue of "Weird Tales"--alas, it is not, so I can't
help you.
