I had missed William Ansley's mention of this back in April, and I thought that other people who might find it of interest had missed it, too. There is a Yahoo! Clubs mailing lis…

The SULFNBK.EXE warning is not accurate. There *is* a virus/worm which propogates through corrupted copies of the SULFNBK.EXE file. However, this file is a standard part of the W…

In an earlier post, I pointed out this (in somewhat different words): In _Return to the Whorl_, Jahlee tells Nettle a secret about the inhumi, which, because of the structure of …

I misremembered what I had read. Crowley says in his interview with Alice Turner that it is a book with very different ambitions (though it too deals with the powers and grea…

I was just discussing this with a friend on Friday. One might posit that there is a genre of "puzzling fiction"--fiction where much or all of the meaning is hidden behind misdirect…

I currently have a cold, possibly with a minor fever, and my troubled dreams kept trying to convince me that there are coded messages in _The Book of the Short Sun_ which will reve…

This gives more support for my belief that the inhumi have some sort of telepathy to enhance their predation, but it's weak support. We know that they camouflage themselves as thei…

I found a page listing documentaries funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities with the following films credited to John Crowley: America and Lewis Hine (Daniel V. Alle…

Is Crowley still doing this? I had gotten the impression from some conversation that he wasn't writing films, but had retired to spend time with his daughters (one of whom, I also …

Also, Weir could have killed multiple people without being a "multiple murderer". The young boy and the man who was locked in the freezer could both easily have been accidents, and…

I don't think this point has been made here: The inhumi seem specifically to be telepathic reptiles tht developed their telepathy to enhance their predation. It seems likely that t…

The cover for _In Green's Jungles_ shows a Neighbor, many legs and all. That, of course, proves nothing. Wombat, a.k.a. Kevin Maroney kmaroney at crossover.com Kitchen Staff Supervi…

I didn't say that. I said Severian shows up, and so does his sister. I don't know what character that latter is. I don't know. Obviously, the mss. are complete; that's Wolfe's cus…

They are unmistakably in the same universe. Parts of _Green_ and _Whorl_ are set in Okay, really, spoiler time Nessus, and really, really big spoiler time Severian …

Telling us that Pas was Typhon tells us a great deal about exactly what kind of man created the Whorl and Mainframe. We don't get a lot of insight into Pas's mentality throughout _…

The link is explicit, but like so many things in Wolfe's works, is mentioned only once, and you have to make the connection yourself. Somewhere in _Lake of the Long Sun_, one of …

Actually, my point was quite different from that. I have the feeling that, in Latin, "Terminus" does *not* have the connotation of "finished" any more than does the English phrase …

Upon examining the archives (which I knew I should have done before posting), I find that in fact Rostrum mentioned the scene in Acts of the Apostles about a year ago, *in a post d…

Michael, that's not out, is it? The article introducing _Gurps New Sun_ in _Pyramid_ several years ago was very good, and I really look forward to the finished version. Wombat,…

"Memory" doesn't seem to me to be a theme, but a subject matter (just as, say, time-travel is a subject matter). "All of life is a fragmentary memory, even as we are living it" w…

I do not regularly contribute to Whorl, but I've been reading the archives, and I had some comments. First, re: Seven American Nights and the egg: I believe that I have read a de…
