(urth) finally read AEG

[Cliff Judge]

It was definitely my least favorite Gene Wolfe novel and I have read all of
them except for that one really old one.

One question and one observation:

Q. When Cassie was watching the news, to get across the idea that the world
of this novel was kind of fallen, the reporter interviewed a young man on
the street who wore a golden phallus about his neck. Why did Wolfe choose to
give the Autarch a cameo appearance?

O: Izanami was one of the two most important gods in the Japanese pantheon;
she married Izanagi and they had several children. The last child was the
god of fire.
