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.

Thats a great article Nick.  I like the way you linked 5th Head with the
Sun books.  Even though I've read half-a-dozen similar retrospectives of
Wolfe's work, this one seemed quite fresh with many orignial and
interesting points and emphases.  I think the only thing lacking might
have been a little more about good Wolfe's prose is.  I always enjoy
reading him even when I haven't figured out what's going on in the plot.

But overall, a great article.  Ought to spur at least a few people to
give Wolfe a try.  Thanks!
