5HC : Strong men weep and women faint.

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.

A detective novel in which the first few pages have
been removed by a sharp edge?
No you are holding it upside down.
When GW wrote 5HC he got around the usual problem with
whodunnits.
Once you reach the final pages you know what happened
and (if it is good) you will never re-read it again
without knowing the ending.
But what is the last page in a novel shaped like a
moebius band?
You find it by a process of eliminaton and relaxation.
I don't want to spoil it for others.
