For those wishing to stay on top of Hattogate developments, Andrys Basten has put up a useful web page of links to Hatto news and discussions: http://www.andrys.com/hatto.html. Frequent updates. By far the most interesting in-depth piece on the subject thus far is provided by English critic Christopher Howell, who reviewed some of the Hatto discs and had an extensive correspondence with Barrington-Coupe and later Hatto (or somebody). He reprints the correspondence, with extensive commentary. Also of interest, he proffers a half-dozen scenarios speculating as to how the hoax might have happened, and why, and who did what. Howell has the imagination of a good mystery writer; he should be doing story treatments for Law and Order.
