(urth) Home Fires: Wolfe doing Heinlein?

[Marc Aramini]

Wolfe outside the text doesn't portray that attitude very much  - it's more like, if you were paying attention, there are no secrets.  (Our vice is failure to observe what is important - but I suppose that actually is a vice of his narrators in general.)

I think there may also be a sort of slantwise commentary on us, who
    investigate Wolfe's work with a view to finding out all the hidden
    secrets. After all, the narrator of Home Fires keeps trying to
    figure things out, and in so doing he keeps getting himself and
    those around him in trouble. You can almost see the book as a
    commentary on the vice of curiosity.
