Why the flying fuck is Severian on a spaceship? What happened

>>9756255
He was on a spaceship during while writing BOTNS? Why wouldn't he be now? Are you baiting me?

nigger did you even read citadel

The part where the reverse-trap mermaid tried to kill him gave me a boner.

what's a reverse trap?
a girl who looks like a guy? a tomboy?

A reverse-trap is someone who is actually exactly what they appear to be.

The opening to Urth of the New Sun is a painful shock but it stops feeling like a completely different story within 100 pages or so and by the end ties everything together very nicely. And like the other anon said don't let it discourage you from reading the rest of the series, Long Sun is excellent.
