Did Wolfe ever visit Cambridge (UK)?
The Garden of Everlasting Sleep (I.22) is reminiscent (to me) of the
fens around Cambridge (flat-bottomed punts; peat bog). The Botanic
Garden is likewise reminiscent of the real Cambridge University Botanic
Garden in some specific details: the "jungle room" of the real one does
have a serpentine path that, unlike those in other rooms, has different
exit and entrance doors. I've never noticed a hut, though.
