(urth) SINGLE Gene Wolfe literature universe?

[O'Donnell, Tim (BOSI)]

Hi Craig,

There was a Q&A session arranged by Mantis with Gene Wolfe back in 1997 in which the following exchange took place:
25. "Does Green/Blue have anything to do with THE FIFTH HEAD OF CERBERUS?" No.

Is this what you were thinking of?

Best wishes,
Tim

As I recall, there's an online interview where he addressed this, saying that, in his mind, they weren't all connected, except for the obvious Sun books. I think it may have been specifically about the planets in Fifth Head and Short Sun, where he said they weren't the same and weren't even the in same universe. I specifically remember him saying that they weren't the same planets, but not the bigger point. (Someone with better memory of his interviews could probably provide a link more easily than I could.)

But who knows...maybe given Father Inire's mirrors and the murkiness of time travel and parallel universe speculation, why not? (But perhaps it becomes meaningless at this point since everything is in the same "universe" or "multi-verse" with infinite parallel universes, right?)
