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.

Can anyone tell me where the Wolfe essay, "What I Know About Writing,"
appeared?

I'm trying to source the following quote: "Almost any interesting work of
art comes close to saying the opposite of what it really says."

Much obliged to anyone who can point me in the right direction.
