The original published version (and McIlroy's review) is in the second of these two columns (including the earlier one for context): • Bentley, J., & Knuth, D. (1986). Programming pearls: Literate Programming. Communications of the ACM, 29(5), 384–369. doi:10.1145/5689.315644 = https://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/cs257/archive/don-knuth/pearls-1.pdf https://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/cs257/archive/don-knuth/pearls-... • Bentley, J., Knuth, D., & McIlroy, D.

It has been reprinted (along with the review) in Knuth's books Literate Programming (https://cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/lp.html https://cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/lp.html), one of the volumes of his collected papers (https://cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/selected.html https://cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/selected.html). Of course this post here ("More shell, less egg") is highly misleading, one which I'll post a separate top-level comment.
