The notional translator of the BotNS signs his notes at the end of 
Volume I as "G.W." G.W. is a fictional Gene Wolfe, very similar to but 
much less informed than the author. This allows the author additional 
license to feint and mislead with errors from an unreviewed and in fact 
unreviewable translation to compound those of an unreliable narrator.
