I think the Increate is more strongly identified with Severian than with out concept of God, and since that identity is behind the stagehands that are behind the scenes, it's not…

But my opinion is that there is a still higher level of manipulation of the manipulators by the Increate, who in some way is or is in sympathy with Severian, perhaps in some Teil…

I'm not sure that I agree, but Sev seems to agree that he has been manipulated by forces not unseen but privy to what is unseen, when he writes that he has backed into the throne…

He does complain that he has lost his resistance to cold after wearing a shirt since his ascention IIRC, and at one point awakens to find ants crawling on his chest. Both would b…

I think John Watkins meant, and I am more interested in, is there a point where Old Autarch asserts himself over the _narrator_, like Thecla seems to have?…

_The Whisperer In Darkness_ stands out as somewhat Wolfean, with unreliable or downright mendacious narrators, cryptic nested epistolary stories, and alien conspiracies. Jolly go…

Sev specifically says that the previous autarchs' memories are present but faint, only his immediate predecessor and Thecla are "there" enough to have initiative and identity of …

But why have those two memories in particular become entwined? Neither knew the other as a child, neither played in the other's play places, they probably weren't even toddlers a…

I don't think synchronicity is the word for timeless properties of the universe, and including an extra Sephiroth to match the string theory du jour is plain numerology. A real b…

I'm not sure that the Ancient Greek preposition is exact; some sources translate it as "Glory from Hera" or "Glory by Hera". When did it belong to Hera? I've only ever heard of i…

There's something that doesn't compute here. I suppose a maiden could be a priestess of Juno, who is a goddess of fidelity as well as marriage, but after being raped or seduced b…

I think it's likely that Thecla here is a typo for her sister's name Thea. But the really interesting thing is not only is Thecla's memory roused to the first person at the time…

The chrisos is the coin Vodalus gave him. There is a bit of Autarch succession nearby, in that a circular room of books has been kept for three centuries pending the return of Au…
