Postludes for The Book of the New Sun

Book Postlude 1: The First Severian

Near the end of his narrative, Severian drops a bombshell with: “I am not the first Severian” (IV, chap. 38, 310). He goes on to guess the following points about the life of the first Severian:

He was raised by the torturers.

He was sent to Thrax.

He fled Thrax.

Though he did not carry the Claw, he went north.

He encountered the Autarch in the north and became Autarch himself.

After his voyage to bring a New Sun, “he was not returned to his own time but became himself a walker of the corridors,” becoming the vivimancer Apu-Punchau as well as the man who built the mausoleum in the necropolis.
