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.

[Posted from URTH, a mailing list about Gene Wolfe's New Sun and other work=
s]

>Gene Wolfe" as the narrator of Cerberus:
In "Strokes", Clute writes about a conversation between Wolfe and an SF
criticism class he was running:
(Student) ...could the narrator's name really be Gene Wolfe?
Gene glanced at the student in mild surprise. "Why of course," he said,
as though he were the last person in the world to have a secret.

I also seem to remember a passage (I don't have 5HC with me, so I can't
check) where the name of the house and the name of the narrator are
compared... something like that anyway.
