Proposed Gene Wolfe Symposium

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.

Here's a detail that might make this more attractive as a general
proposal:

Everything in the sessions will be recorded, transcribed, marketed and
(if possible) published, with any profits to be split 50/50 between the
author and the entity doing the symposiums.

There are a lot of writers who don't get anything like the respect they
deserve because they have been classified as SF writers, and most SF
fans don't like them for whatever reason. Wolfe, Crowley and Patricia
Anthony are the three that leap to mind; I am sure that there are
others.=20
