I'm not sure if the answers to the original query constitutes a shit storm, but I guess it will do until one gets here. <br><br>But back to the original question, is Wolfe indicating that Silk recognizes his own corruption in Book 4 of BotLS? (specifically the trip to mainframe?) Is this what causes his apparent depression? The more I think about it, the more I like the theme of corruption in the series:<br>
<br>Muccor corrupted by Blood<br>Silk corrupted by Hyacinth<br>The councilors corrupted by their mechanical avatars<br>etc. etc. <br><br>Just curious. <br>-s<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 4:48 PM, Adam Thornton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:adam@io.com">adam@io.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Witz, Let's make sure to keep Trey away from this conversation once he reads<br>
the books. ;)<br>
<br>
On the other hand, I'm intensely interested so see what he thinks of the<br>
books!<br>

I'll be utterly shocked if Trey doesn't see through it pretty clearly.<br>
The man has a serious gift for insight. Watching The Black Rider stage play with him was revealing. he grasped levels of symbolism I was utterly blind to.<br>
I suppose that's no surprise to you though.<br>

Awww shit.<br>

There are other Tom Waits fans here?<br>
<br>
This shouldn't be a surprise to me, should it? He's right up there in my pantheon with Wolfe and Pynchon.<br><font color="#888888">
