Uncollected Wolfe

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.

Hey, wait a second!  Jonathan Laidlow had a nice list of uncollected Wolfe
fiction at Ultan's Library back before it moved, but today I looked and I
couldn't find the list.  Was it removed for some important reason (if it
was in deference to a new edition of URTHMAN EXTRAORDINARY, the =3Dessentia=
l=3D
[and =3Dinexpensive=3D] Gene Wolfe bibliography, then I say we start agitat=
ing
for the release of a new edition!) or just lost in the shuffle?  (IIRC it
was not annotated with regard to story content, but this itself could be an
interesting new project!)

And speaking of Ultan's List, the Borski response to Wright's 5HC essay has
been promised in the next few hours for a month now . . . shades of time
dilation, as Jonathan edges closer to the speed of light! <g>

Finally, a tidbit on "It's Very Clean": this story has allusions to
Disneyland, and as such it falls in with those other Wolfe stories, big and
small.
