Sorry if this is a tired old subject, but I'm new to the list. 

I assumed that the narrator of Return to the world ( aside from the editors) 
was an amalgam of the minds and souls of Horn and Silk- similar to the 
combination of Rose and Marble after Rose's physical death. I understand that 
Marble is a synthetic being, but I feel that Wolfe advances a kind of "Blade 
Runner/ A.I." type ghost in the machine philosophy with Marble and her 
daughter.  Couldn't the narrator be a composite like soul with Silk asserting 
predominance at the close of Return?
 thanks,
