Whos met or written to Wolfe

Hi Jus wondering if anyones met Wolfe? Scanning the net ive discovered the sci-fi convention and sadly due to my location will probably never go to one. It saddens me that I'll probably never meet Wolfe. I don't have the funds to travel to the US yet. As that in the case I'm considering writing a letter to Wolfe. I must say that such things I have always thought of as obssessive and a bit odd but as Wolfe is a relatively low profile author there is always the tantalising chance of a reply to show the grandchildren. I must say that reading Wolfe has been probably the most enriching experiences in my life and my girlfriend has to put up with my rants of his greatness. Have any of you guys attempted this. I know you can contact him through his agent. If you think this a really bad idea please tell me. I am aware that the answers are in the book its more a 'your great, keep up the good work' sort of letter. _________________________________________________________________ Discover and Win with Live Search http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/msnnkmgl0010000007ukm/direct/01/

I asked him what I think was a pretty coherent question at ReaderCon '99, and was a drooling and incoherent fanboy when I ran into him at Archon last year. I wish that I had made a better account of myself. Alas. Adam

Go for it. He's a charming chap. Oliver Wakefield writes:

Please forgive the stupid question, but . . . who is Wolfe's agent and how you do reach him?

Normally, one writes an author in care of his publisher. I have done this with Wolfe and received no reply even after years, which hurt my feelings a bit until I reflected that he is a busy guy and certainly had no obligation to write me back. The problem, of course, is that having read as much of his stuff as I have I feel that I know him a bit, and maybe I do, but he does not (of course) know me at all. I've also met him twice, like fifteen or twenty years apart, at the only two SF conventions that I have attended. He does indeed seem a very nice man. .

Hmmmm. It seems that your unlikely to get a reply if you write to Wolfe. Fair enough really, hes an old guy whos still writing hard. Hmmm I might do it anyway. I wonder how many fan letters he gets? Might be the lucky one he writes back to. I suppose he could have an autoreply. Dear Reader Thanks for praise of my books. Severian is acctually erebus' son and abaia's his uncle and he didn't really save the New Sun. It was all a dream. Now leave me alone.
