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.

[Posted from WHORL, the mailing list for Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun]

I must say that I'm gratified that Gene Wolfe recommends John Crowley. I
just interrupted my reread of the New Sun books as I got my hands on
Crowley's latest (and there aren't many books which can do that). I'd
recommend the following by Crowley:

Engine Summer
Little, Big
Aegypt
Love & Sleep

Great! Maybe the term "inhumi" is more like "cacogen", i.e. generic term
for non-humans of extrasolar origin, or maybe just non-human which leaves
it a bit open-ended.
