Maybe this suggestion is so boneheaded that it's deserved no reply. But stubbornly I haven't given up on the notion yet, partly because there's some vague hinting (I'll go back to OBW and quote a couple passages if it would help the discussion) about blood brotherhood, so to speak. Any chance of success in this direction, do you think? --Henry Rathvon, Wolfe admirer from way back *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun. ---
