Well, to be NICE about it, I just thought that since Babbie is appearing as a human being, the only way his four eyes could be expressed was as a man with glasses, which people a…

Nonono! We want YOU to explain it. And then we'll leap upon you like arctothers and shred you to pieces. Nutria (Slavering, Drooling Rat) *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene…

At 03:01 PM 3/12/2001 -0600, Borski, whose missives are GREAT and challenging, challenges: I propose a scenario. We know that the Neighbors visited the Whorl when it ca…

I'll take the opposite view. More problems than answers. 1. Typhon has a human wife and human children and a human lover, no? 1a. They are wife/lover/children of …

Maybe I'm having a Senior Moment (more and more since I passed 50), but did we ever "decide" what the Big Inhumi Secret is? Surely it's not what Jahlee tells Nettle, that they ge…

We've discussed this on Urth a while back, as I recall. I think the consensus was that Wolfe is about as mean to his male characters as to his female ones, on balance. As for Ori…

I don't really think so. Long ago I wrote to ask him if he thought of himself as a Christian writer, and he wrote back to say that no, he is a writer who is a Christian. I don't …

Maybe. Or maybe an ascension, since in some sense "Silk" has just been "resurrected." In a sense, Horn has "gone up to heaven" in answer to the prayer for "daily" bread. Of cours…

Well, I'm happier with such a view. The thought that Horn's last words are "I should not have come back", followed by his departure from this world, makes the trilogy into a real…
