Peace-Discuss-Detailed Summary

Does this format look good for discussing Peace? Any comments?

Also, we should have a reference for the idea that planting a tree on his grave keeps a ghost from wandering.

It's hard deciding what should be counted as an interpolated story and what shouldn't. Feel free to change the list, and please add more content to the page.--``stone ox''

  • Brilliant! (as they say in the Guiness commercials. I made a few small adds, but this is a great beginning.

I'm not sure about "believes" -- that slants toward certain interpretations -- in particular, it discounts the possibility that the "memory palace" is in some sense "real," at least in Weer's afterlife. I realize that Peace is peculiarly hard to summarize without interpreting, but would like to keep the summary as interpretation-neutral as possible. I'm making a wee change, but if you can think of something better, go for it. --Sturgeons 20070811

I vaguely remember a poetic passage I read somewhere comparing a graveyard to a city of the dead, with the tombstones being the chimneys. I have no idea where I read it, and am vaguely curious as to whether it's something that Gene Wolfe could have read (or even written). It could have been the inspiration for the "long porch" as grave. If anybody else remembers this, I'd be interested in knowing where it's from. stoneox March 03, 2013, at 08:15 PM
