In a thought-provoking post on PEACE (I'll have to reread the book now;
PEACE is one of my favorite books, and I want to take part in this
discussion), Dan'l Danehy-Oakes wrote:

That had been my impression on reading the book, but in his interview
with Jim Jordan (on Paul Duggan's Wolfe site) Wolfe denied this: "I
wanted to do the rooms that were
recreations and rooms that he had known as a very young man and I didn't
think that anybody would actually do that. That it had to be a
supernatural stick [sic] or a mental quirk or something of that sort."
