no, no.  The part I am talking about at the end of OBW IS SIMULTANEOUS TO THE ACTION of writing.  Horn in Silk's body is running out of paper and says good-bye, sits under a tree, comes to finish out the ream that runs out before he begins writing again in IGJ.  This is the "present" of OBW: the rajan of goan is writing and details his own adventures in addition to the past, then mysteriously most of IGJ switches to present tense, with the Horn sections told mostly 3rd person (because ... he isn't still mostly Horn)
