Posting from work, so I can't give a page cite, but there is an occasion in
_Jungles_ where Horn says something like "no one in my family will ever read
this passage," or possibly "should read.."  In any case, it's immediately
followed by "We've both read it! --Hoof & Hide" or words to that effect.

No, vizcacha--you are remembering OBW.  That family/editorial frametale is
conspicuously missing from IGJ, which has very chilling implications (i.e.,
Horn didn't make it home; his manuscript of IGJ has not been seen by his
family; etc.).

Neat way to introduce uncertainty in the middle of a trilogy!
