<p>I think they will edit it and proof-read it regardless. I would
assume that a posthumous editor will generally edit with a
relatively light hand (since he cannot consult the author), attend
to any notes (if Wolfe ever used them) and write an addendum
outlining editorial decisions.</p>

print of a historical book. Editing with Mr Wolfe's cooperation
would have been the ideal, but under the circumstances we prefer
to let the readers do it by themselves rather than introduce our
own view.'</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">I too was wondering about this. I guess
we should not just stomp up to the gates of Tor Castle and
demand oversight of the editing, although in fact this was
my first inclination. I'll take a shot at it. This is just
a draft, a suggestion, a place to begin. It's challenging
to say, in a kind tone, we don't trust your editing esp
with Hartwell gone; please don't *$#@! this up. Maybe this

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Editors,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello. We're a group of readers from
the Urth Mailing List, a mailing list established in 1996
to discuss the writing of Gene Wolfe. We mourn the passing
of Mr. Wolfe.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are all looking forward eagerly to
reading Mr. Wolfe's last novel, Interlibrary Loan. As a
group, we also mourn the fact that Mr. Wolfe is not
available to review the manuscript galleys.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mr. Wolfe's writing is subtle and
precise. In the past, his manuscripts have suffered under
the pens of well-meaning copyeditors and proofreaders.
Typically, when Wolfe receives edited galleys, he responds
with STET to many well-intended but erroneous edits. Even
small edits, like turning a letter to uppercase, or
changing a pronoun, can ruin the intended effect of the
story. Every scene, every sentence, every word is chosen
and developed with utmost care. Many times, something that
seems like an error, is not an error, but a carefully
considered component of the story.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Among our group we have dedicated and
prominent Wolfe scholars. We would be delighted to offer
our assistance during the editorial phase of publishing
Interlibrary Loan. We are available to consult with your
editorial team as needed, to help publish Mr. Wolfe's last
novel as close as possible to Mr. Wolfe's intentions. Our
services are offered pro bono, simply because this book
means a great deal to all of us.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let us know if we can assist.
Thanking you for your time we remain<o:p></o:p></p>
