Possibly I didn't explain myself very well. All I meant was that we
should be able to solve the conventional mysteries of a Wolfe story from
the story alone. What Wolfe says in an interview may be very
illuminating, but if you have to *rely* on it to prove your theory about
a story, then you've failed to understand that story. And if you don't
have to rely on it, then it's not key information.
