Popping in to share a thought provoking new podcast I just ran across, specifically their recent episode on Tolkien.
They make some really interesting points, including some great observations on how
Tolkien's lengthy descriptive passages fit into the entire story -- for
which reason I immediately wanted to share with y'all.
(I do take a little issue with the ending discussion, i.e. where I'm realizing I'm much more in Tolkien's camp on various deep myth questions than Lewis's/at least with Narnia. Don't get me wrong, I do love Narnia, but, big picture wise, I love and am so much more comfortable with Tolkien's approach. N.D. Wilson seems to be on the other side of the discussion... but that particular myth debate is open-ended and will probably keep going for generations. ;))
I'd love to hear what you think!
