Hello, board members.
I recently came across an essay by Gene Wolfe, explaining what The Lord Of The Rings meant to him.
The essay is relevant to Wolfe's own beliefs and faith. I hope that that makes it relevant to a discussion of the Whorl books - which are surely works of Christian apology in the tradition of Lewis and Tolkien.
I was very impressed by Wolfe's words, and I purchased from him the right to display the essay on my own website.
I am foolish enough to believe that the essay says some important things about Tolkien's work. At any rate it moved me deeply.
