Doesn't a god force Latro to choose between either finding himself among friends or regaining his memory? I thought his continued wanderings were because being among friends without memory proved to not be enough.<br><br>

Anything else, to me--unless superbly done (something Wolfe is quite capable of)--<br>
would be meaningless windowdressing.<br>

I like Sidon, but I it *does* feel odd that Sidon occurs after Latro has already returned home. The expectation is that the arc of the stories is Latro's attempt to "get back" and to reveal something of his past. So that he goes to Africa instead of Persia (or at least moves in that direction) just feels "off".<br>
