For the life of me I just cannot understand how this illustrious gathering, The Undead Conference failed to discuss this very question. In fact, it apparently failed to discuss at all we Dead here at the Barrow Downs or even Tolkien's own undead. Imagine, they discussed Turgenev, Mirbeau, Gunther von Hagen, but not Tolkien. Unbelievable.

Next time I see such a call for papers, I'm going to demand equal time. If I see it in time, of course.
