I certainly wouldn't wish to see any Wolfe adaptation directed by Jodorowski. Perhaps Darren Aronofsky? Kubrick would be my first choice, but that of course is impossible. But imag…

Nice. I never could quite figure out Gassem's purpose in the story. But I always knew that Wolfe never has useless characters in his work, so I knew he had some reason for showing …

In-EAR-ay, huh? Makes sense. The meaning of the name's source being entrance seems to jive with Inire's overall agenda, as well. He does create entrances with the specula using …

And while we're on the Subject of Father Inire, how do you (and anyone else on the list, as well) pronounce the name? I find myself reading it as In-Ire, just like the two words. …

Ah, Encyclopedia Brown! I loved those growing up. I think Rudesind is the most blatant Inire-like character. It is from his mouth we first hear the name Fechin, if I'm not mista…

Yo mention Fechin at the end of your post. Another character who is named too many times to be of so little apparent importance. Anyone have any good theories about Fechin?…

It could be, but a ribbon wouldn't just hang there suspended. Think about a string or ribbon that holds up a mask. Remove the mask and the ribbon would just fall off.…

Not so sure about hair, but something has to explain the stripe above Agilus' ear. While I don't doubt it is an indication of Agilus' dishonesty, that he is a man who wears many m…

I think I have read somewhere about the stripes being face paint, thus related to the jungle sorcerers. I also agree that Agilus is portrayed as a wearer of masks and as a result,…

I agree about Borski. However, when reading his work, I do get excited about re-reading Wolfe so I can make some new discovery. I also enjoyed some of his observations on T5HoC a…
