From: Dan Rabin <wolfe-lists@danrabin.com> Subject: (whorl) Coincidences Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2001 22:11:54 I agree with David Lebling that the coincidence of Jahlee being Krait's mother is a bit of a stretch. I also find it a bit unsatisfying that Wolfe tends to revisit established locales. Was there any reason why the ship in _Return_ had to be the _Samru_? I didn't notice any particular continuity in the character of the captain, nor any motivation for his later kind treatment of Severian. In _Urth of the New Sun_, the boat that picks up Severian happens to be Eata's. I also have a nit concerning Blood's mansion. Wasn't it off the Old Palustria Road in _Long Sun_? In _Return_, it's on the road from Viron that ends in Endroad. Perhaps the road doesn't go all the way to Palustria any more? -- Dan Rabin *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun. *More Wolfe info & archive of this list at http://www.moonmilk.com/whorl/ *To leave the list, send "unsubscribe" to whorl-request@lists.best.com *If it's Wolfe but not Long Sun, please use the URTH list: urth@lists.best.com
