Wolfe interview on SF SITE

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.

You have some cheek, Mr Gevers!!

As I thought - Wolfe is obeying internally generated mythic imperatives in
creating these patterns.    He does not know if Ushas/Lune is Blue/Green,
and he can't tell us.

[Trying again:] Can your readers usefully view The Fifth Head of Cerberus as
being set in the same science-fictional universe as New Sun, Long Sun, and
Short Sun? Why does Fifth Head's pattern of blue/green sister worlds recur
so tantalisingly in Urth/Lune, Blue/Green?

[Wolfe]
I don't know.
