At the 1:03 mark of the latest episode of the Rereading Wolfe podcast I took a crack at explaining the meaning of the second novella in The Fifth Head of Cerberus (“A Story” by John V Marsch).
It was too big a theory to post here or anywhere else but it seems to me this is a very good place to talk about it.
