Wraiths, Waifs and Wolves

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.

Whoops! I don't recall that at all. Thanks, Roy. I clearly haven't being
paying proper attention.

There still seem to be plenty of uncollected Gene Wolfe short stories out
there. When are we going to see the publication of a uniform, multi-volume
edition of "The Complete Literary Works of Gene Wolfe", I wonder? These
things come out after an author's death, so in that sense I certainly hope
that it won't be published for many years yet. On the other hand, it would
be a useful work to have. While I'm dreaming, a searchable electronic
version of the complete texts would be useful too!

(The "Complete Works" should really be published as a proper, annotated,
"Variorum" edition, of course. Perhaps some of the contributions to the Urth
list will eventually make their way into the apparatus criticus or
marginalia...)
