From: Donn Seeley <seeley at sover.net> Why are there no annotations from Hoof and Hide in JUNGLES?
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. Dave Lebling (aka Vizcacha) *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun.

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! =mantis= *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun.
