Mr. Robertson,

Many thanks!  Tolkien and Wolfe are without a doubt the two authors who've
resonated most strongly with me over the last 25 years or so, so an essay by
one about the other is a dream come true.  Naturally, when I heard about the
Wolfe article, I looked long and hard for the INTERZONE issue, but was too
late.

Wow!  A very nice article.

Thanks again.


Steve Strickland
