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.

Perennial favorite 'other' author on the list seems to be John Crowley

Jonathan Carroll's last two novels (_White Apples_ and _The Wooden=20
Sea_) are worth checking out.

I'm not sure I would call Jack Vance "brilliant," but he fits your=20
other criteria.  However, some people seem to have heard of him . . .

Another thought, albeit out-of-genre, is Lawrence Durrell's _Alexandria=20=

Quartet_; but only if you have considerable patience.

Best,
