I wonder if\nthis is just because people who have died tend to think like this in Wolfe's\nmind, or Wolfe is simply reusing a previous mode of narration.\n\n4) Nessus's cameo was rather amusing, but I wonder how it will be fleshed\nout in _Return to the Whorl_.\n\n5) Horn still thinks of Pas as a god. Hopefully he'll rid himself of this\nnotion by the end of the series. Although, \"god\" has always had a rather\ndifferent meaning in the BotLS and BotSS.\n\nCheers,\n\nChristopher CULVER <new_sun at hotmail.com>\n\n________________________________________________________________________\nGet Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
