More Wolfe Blurbs

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.

Urthers --

A while back, I asked about books Wolfe recommended or books for which he had written blurbs.

I've seen his blurbs on

* Orson Scott Card (whom Wolfe calls "Oar Scottson Curd"), _Ender's Game_
* Avram Davidson, _Treasury_
* Sharon Baker, _Journey to Memblar_

and someone mentioned that he has a blurb on 

* Jennifer Stevenson, Trash Sex Magic

I've also discovered that this site gives a list of several (though it's far from complete).  I can't say I'm familiar with any of the authors:

* Robert Nathan, Portrait of Jennie (1940)
* George Turner, Drowning Towers (1987)
* Robert Aickman, The Model (1987)
* David Zindell, Neverness (1988)
* Paul Park, Coelestis (1993)
* Terry McGarry, Illumination (2001)

Anyone read these?

John
