The author had carefully scrutinised\nthe tetralogy and had laid bare a number of Wolfe's literary games\nfor our edification and enjoyment. He asked, for example, if we\ncould trace Severian's family tree, could determine the connection\nbetween the coin Severian hides and the one Dr. Talos gives him at\nthe end of THE CITADEL OF THE AUTARCH, could discover Wolfe's many\nallusions to Borges.\n\nI am wondering if anyone has this article and can send it to me, or,\nbarring that, whether anyone can remember those questions or, even\nbetter, come up with a few of their own. Answers are cool too! B^)\nHypotheses are welcomed as well, especially those about the\nquestions I mentioned above.\n\nI look forward to hearing from y'all, and hope this starts a new\ndialogue.  THE BOOK OF THE NEW SUN is rich, complex, beautiful, and\npuzzling, and it deserves to be discussed.\n\nRon Warren Evans\nevansr at SUNED.ZOO.CS.YALE.EDU.UUCP\nevaronw at YALEVM.BITNET"
