Gene Wolfe: He who would pass over the Bridge of Death, answer me these
questions three!
Reviewer: I will answer!

GW: Who was Severian's grandmother?
R: Dorcas!

GW: Who was Apu Punchau?
R: Severian!

GW: What was going on at the end of _Castleview_?
R: Um, uh, geez, no idea...

**BOING!**

With all due apologies to Monty Python and GW.
