Embedded stories in SHORT SUN?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Just a far-fetched thought stemming from the indicated
contents of STRANGE TRAVELERS: the items omitted from
that collection include "Empires of Foliage and
Flower" and "The Boy Who Hooked the Sun", the two
"Brown Book" stories not included in the text of
BOTNS. Could GW have kept those stories back in order
to embed them in a Severian-narrated portion of THE
BOOK OF THE SHORT SUN? It's an appealing idea, but a
complete stab in the dark...
