(urth) interview questions

[Gerry Quinn]

My only comment here is that Wolfe is talking about twenty years after writing 5HoC, and has forgotten the name of the novella; I think he has also forgotten which group of pre-colonisation inhabitants was called the Shadow Children.

I think making the abos the Shadow Children is untenable for a lot of reasons.

  A: Well, Tolkien had no knowledge of hobbit culture.  But in any case, Wolfe has called the halt, and you're right.  He said in his interview with Lawrence Person, ""'A Story,' by John V. Marsch," yes, which is not actually written by John V. Marsch, but by the shadowchild who has replaced John V. Marsch."
