Yet more glosses on Uncollected Gene 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.

Thousands of fans have seen his cartoons, but I suspect that only a few
have seen his wood carvings. Perhaps the most remarkable is a cane
decorated with leaves and feathers and stars, and the faces of 11
different men. The inscription at the bottom reads, ''December 1993/This
osage orange walking stick was made for Gene R. Wolfe by Joe Mayhew.''
Someday I may let you touch it. But only if you're very, very good.

I wonder if Wolfe can make any of the faces talk?
