(urth) Severian as the Outsider?

[Matthew Keeley]

Actually, Wolfe discussed this issue in an old interview:
http://www.urth.net/whorl/archives/v0006/0350.shtml

To quote:
"15. "Is the Outsider a form of Severian?" No. Severian is a form of"
the Outsider.""

I tend to interpret that as a Catholic answer, something along the
lines of "Severian was created in the image and likeness of the
Outsider." I could be wrong though.
