_The Wizard_ by Gene Wolfe - too much like previous Wolfe

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.

After a bit of rummaging about, I've (re-)found what seems to be an
active mailing list on Wolfe's work.

http://www.urth.net/

I think I'll go dig out what they thought about The Knight / The
Wizard myself; I just _might_ have missed a couple of things.

Best,
