Subject: (urth) Malrubius' ghost

Just one more thing that I forgot in our recent discussion of whether or not 
Silk could pass for Malrubius in the astral travel scenes of Return to the 
Whorl:

in the comments for The Book of the Short Sun when it was released for the 
SFBC in one volume, Wolfe said a little bit about it, urging readers to accept 
the astral travel and perhaps to discover the secret of "Malrubius' ghost".  I 
obviously threw that catalog away a long time ago, but someone else should 
remember it as well.  I say this is further reason to think that Silk in 
astral form certainly resembles Malrubius, and that the evidence is not 
circumstantial.
