New Sun Religion #5 [SPOILERS]
Right Courthouse, Wrong Trial. Autarch Severian, feeling he is under the aegis of the numinous Conciliator, makes the trip to Yesod. To his surprise, the trial is not at all what he had thought; and though he cannot understand it until he physically meets the Deluge, his role is less “heroic world redeemer” and more “accidental angel of apocalypse.” Debate is open as to whether or not this is a “M

“There was a time when I could put the palm of my hand flat on the front of a tattered paperback called The Dying Earth and feel the magic seeping through the cardboard: Turjan of Miir, Liane the Wayfarer, T’sais, Chun the Unavoidable. Nobody I knew had so much as heard of that book, but I knew it was the finest book in the world. (Castle of Days, 211)”

“In my GEnie days (1991-1996?) I discussed the fiction of Gene Wolfe with Greg Feeley, Neil Gaiman, Joe Mayhew, Michael Swanwick, and Jeff Wilson, among others. I published Lexicon Urthus in 1994. The Lexicon brought me letters from David Langford. It also brought me friendship with Alice K. Turner (1939-2015), and she talked me into joining the Urth List in 1997. There I met many, but for this application I will limit the roll to Marc Aramini, Robert Borski, Craig Brewer, Bill Carmichael, Roy C. Lackey, Jonathan Laidlow, Dan Parmenter, Nigel Price, Pedro Jorge Romero, and James Wynn.”
