This might be true for another author, but not for Wolfe.  I think my
theory is at least as strongly implied by the text as is Weer's ghostly
state in _Peace_, which we know Wolfe intended.

The main problem I now have with Alice's theory is that it doesn't account
for the strong indications that the narrator has indeed forgotten
something.  (I don't think you can say he has "forgotten" not having met
Suzanne.)
