Even the most ignorant savages can tell the difference between an eclipse and a man's shadow. Dawn had been delayed by an eclipse. The natives knew that the sun should have been up…

I hope I'm not going to put my foot in my mouth here . . . but if I'm thinking of the correct scene, my understanding has been that Severian himself causes the eclipse - since he i…

Speaking of Wolfe getting old - something I've worried about before - do you think the latest Latro book (where he's in Egypt) is the last in the series? I haven't read it . . . a…
