Makes you wonder just how much of 'Wolfe' is actually there, and how
much is random transformation of trivia or what readers read into
it...

I once wrote a sample argumentative paper for my students with sources and all in the hopes that they would realize my argument was full of holes and pick it apart.  Instead, they all agreed with me.  In the hands of a fervent athiest, having a most low god who claimed to be have the highest god on his back as festering sores would be seen as a reflection of the author's idea of the most high god (a god of sores and debasement)- in Wolfe, we read it in the opposite fashion.  Odd how that works, isn't it?
