Yes Maru. It is 3 novellas written as one story. Of this I am certain. The ascians/abos are people like us Even the deer-hunter, the elephant-man and the old whaler recognised this at last. There is a method to this madness but the full mystery (Mr. E is unlike Maitre D'Iffy) is not yet revealed to me. M'sieur Yves? or did you say Eve? Gene Wolfe is prisoner 143, but he is a cypher for everyone who suffers unjustly, whatever their species. or type. Bien sur. We are all related, names only tell half the story. I hope this helps Jim
