Gene Wolfe: Another New Sun question

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

In _Urth_ Severian is told that the events he thinks are results of the
power of the Claw are in fact his own work - especially raising of the
dead.  That being the case, his misperception may have become truth the
longer he knew Miles, something that Miles found more and more distressing.
