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.

It was mentioned in one of Fantastic Metropolis's end of the year round-ups.
Mike Moorcock got various authors to contribute and it was an interesting
exercise, not least because quite a few of them seemed to be having more fun
making up books than recommending genuine ones. The quotes from Wolfe in the
recommendation were something along the lines of "Note to myself: am I being
too recondite?" which seemed a little too deliberately bathetic to be true.
