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.

Matthew Freestone,

Ah, you caught the NOVELTY that I missed.  I thought of it only after
I'd sent, thought of sending an addendum, thought again.

"Infundibular" is "funnel-shaped," isn't it?  While I've noticed that
the short stories in ANTIQUITIES are often "miniatures" of Crowley
novels, I confess I can't quite understand how a short can be a
"funnel-shaped" version of either a novel (AEGYPT) or a series of
novels (AEGYPT the series).  Please elaborate!  (I don't have NOVELTY,
btw & fwiw.)

Hierodule,

Ah, you were there too!  Great!  Hmmm--as you suggest, that history
spread is quite different if it refers only to the duration of the Age
of the Autarch rather than the whole period separating Earth from
Severian.  <Watching for that transcript!>
