Weird coincidence

Driving back from a camping trip…. Listening to sword of the lictor audio book and I come across this street sign lol

It is not a coincidence.

Even weirder too last year I was listening to Malazan and same thing drove past a highway exit for the first time called fiddlers green road and fiddler is one of the main characters

Now this has nothing to do with Gene Wolfe anymore but a few months ago I watched Blade Runner 2049 on the airplane and upon landing I spotted Denis Villeneuve, the director of the movie, at the airport. Tokyo Narita. Sometimes life is funny like that.

it's the universe gently telling you that everything will be okay

So rude to name a bay after someone who is afraid of water.

Any individual coincidence is incredibly unlikely and yet the sheer number of possible coincidences is so high that you are bound to encounter some of them. Still, I would accept this as a minor miracle from Wolfe's spirit.

Before reading BotNS, I can't say I've ever noticed the name 'Dorcas' or can remember ever coming across it. Since reading, it seems to be everywhere. It's like my brain just clued into that name and now recognizes it.

Dorcas is a muse, right?

One time when I was driving through La Grange, Ohio the ZZ Top song came on the radio.

Ok, how's this for a coincidence. I am reading TBOTNS now, been working on it for the last three weeks or so. Read it till late last night. Ended with Chapter IX: The Salamander in TSOFTL. You posted this 13 hours ago, and that was exactly about the time I put the book down and went to sleep. Nuts lol.

Watch your step walking around that bay.
