This is an interesting bit of info, but it can't be literally true that
Victor is one of the Shadow Children: he refers to his mother as one of the
Free People (p. 240, Ace pb), whom he regards as distinct from the Shadow
Children, and he obviously looks nothing like the Shadow Children of "A
Story."

In any case, this interview was conducted twenty-six years after the story
was written, so I wouldn't take it as conclusive, no matter how it's
interpreted.
