Why I Like Tolkien
I realized this tonight: Above all, the reason why I am drawn to Tolkien is because by using simple examples, he was able to name those things that are forever in the back of my mind-matters regarding the future of the world, and what can and cannot be done about it. There is a Russian proverb that says, "No true artist speaks in vain." My instincts tell me that the writing of Tolkien has more worldy truth in it that meets the eye, even a trained eye.
