(urth) Thea and Thecla

[DAVID STOCKHOFF]

Right. And so this is a common problem with conventional solutions. I like to think of the storytelling as withholding information, not giving it or even parsing it out. You'd only intrude with the "adult" perspective when it advances the story.

I'll note that Mantis once posted a nice summary of how BotNS paralleled Gene Wolfe's life. As he 
wrote this book, he himself was facing the story-telling problems Severian was facing. We have all told
stories of our youth so we all know (if we are good story-tellers) that it would ruin the story to 
constantly, repeatedly interupt the story events with "well, of course now I know that...".
