Here are two questions, one\nspecific, but a bit sneaky since it tries to get 3 bits of info for the\nprice of one, the second fairly profound. Take your pick.\n\n1) Does the woman's scarf found in Mattak's room in Oosik's house belong to\nHyacinth? (Of course he could just say \"no\" and leave me profoundly\nfrustrated as to homeowning identity.)\n\n2) Is the Outsider a form of Severian (leaving open the possibility that he\nincludes others [as, indeed, does Severian])?\n\n-alga-"

This has some nice symbolic effects (\"virgin\nbirth\", the hero as having unusual origins, etc.).  Does Silk have any\nhuman engineered, extraordinary abilities?  \n\n   (Possible Lupine hint:  he knew Hyacinth's name before she was \nintroduced, and felt that they had made a non-physical contact.)\n\n\n   Please pass along my compliments to Mr. Wolfe as one of the most \ncreative, skilled, and theologically fascinating writers I've ever read.\n\n\n                 Thanks,\n\n                           Kieran Mullen\n\n\n Kieran Mullen                         email: kieran at mail.nhn.ou.edu\n Dept. of Physics and Astronomy        phone: (405) 325-3961\n The University of Oklahoma            FAX: (405) 325-7557\n Norman, OK 73019, USA                 http://www.nhn.uoknor.edu/~kieran/"
