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.

=46rom a local reviewer--Michael Barrett--of the anthology _999_ in the _San
Antonio Express-News_, Sunday, September 26, 1999:

 >>"The Tree Is My Hat" by Gene Wolfe, better known as a science fiction
writer -- A vivid Polynesian island tale about a man with a debilitating
disease and the ghost or dwarf or something-or-other who befriends him as a
blood brother. Full of strange, unexplained details that one feels must mean
more than Wolfe is telling us.<<

Yeah, sounds like Wolfe.
