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.

Just a few words about Jeff VanderMeer's extraordinary
book CITY OF SAINTS & MADMEN, now available in
hardcover (Prime Books). The hardcover, a major
expansion of last year's trade paperback version, is
ideal reading for anyone who likes Wolfe--aside from
the very high quality of the writing, there are enough
unreliable narrators, books within books, disguised
storylines, embedded stories, and metafictional tricks
to satisfy 5HC and NEW SUN admirers. Plus Byzantine
inspiration in common.

--Nick Gevers.
