En garde!
- If, at one point, a character can write himself into a story, why can't it
happen again?  How far did Krait have to travel to do that?
- Wolfe has already used the sorting order of books for a joke.  In 5HoC he
makes the Vernor Vinge/"W" joke.  We almost never ascribe something to
Wolfe's sense of humor, but certainly he must use it every once in a while.
- The idea that astral travel uses mental maps rather than physical ones is
a good one, at least as good as the "Silk = Blue" or "Blue is a
time-traveling version of Green" theories that are going around.
