Every single attempt to make an assertive claim in Short Sun is defeated by the narrator: big woman drinking when fed upon causes Jahlee to resemble chenille, Horn's ring shows up, (two things from Green make it plausible) later, narrator says he was wrong, might not be Horn's ring (take away one thing from Green, implausible again).

Very frustrating.  Have to choose between ignoring first description of ring and probably reason for Jahlee being called Chenille or accepting second reason (different ring) and different reason for Jahlee being called Chenille (mother fed on Chenille and drunken woman reinforced it)

I think the implied salvation of Chenille is cool and that the second id of the ring is wrong, but I certainly see why NO ONE can make any definitive claims about Short Sun, there are a whole lot of contrdictary symbols and signals.
