Crowley's The Translator

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.

I read the review cited by Matthew Davis, in the Mar. 13 NYT, and in fact it
praises Falin's poetry.  Was there another NYT review?  I'd call the review
as a whole mixed rather than hostile; the reviewer praises the character of
Falin highly (though I strongly disagree with the statement that Kit is a
"pallid figure").
