Horizontal wisdom
A few days ago, Nutria wrote concerning my rejection of Peter Wright's explanation of Severian's adventures as a cynical exercise in extra-terrestrial manipulation:
6 quoted lines · depth 2
Yes, surely. This interpretation makes sense only if Sev. is some kind of antichrist in an antiuniverse made by an antigod -- which is what I thought the first time through. But Wolfe has made it plain that this is not the case at all, and the thesis does not stand up on rereading.
Yes! Absolutely! Thank you, too, Nutria, for _lling me in on US conventions about capitalisation following a semi-colon. (I've enjoyed your other _ne contributions to recent dicussions too.) Nigel
