#38: Talking Tolkien (with Craig Hanks from the Legendarium Podcast)

In part three of the Body of Work series, Craig Hanks from the Legendarium Podcast joins me to talk about the timeless work and legacy of J.R.R. Tolkien. During our conversation, we share the ways we were introduced to Tolkien, explore a few of the universal themes of Lord of the Rings, and spend some time comparing Tolkien and his work to Johann Sebastian Bach, a skyscraper, a cathedral, and Mt. Fuji. Material Mentioned in This Episode:What Makes Prose GOOD? Tolkien, Sanderson, Jemisin, Rothfuss, Erikson | Professor Craig Explains#181. Leaf by Niggle#420.
