Ep-36 Ink to Film: The Fellowship of the Ring (1954 novel) part one

JRR Tolkien is a giant in genre literature and the guys are eager
to discuss his novel, The Fellowship of the Ring, part one of The
Lord of the Rings. In this episode, they cover the first five
chapters of the novel. But first, who was JRR Tolkien? They begin
by digging into the life of the legendary author and how fighting
in World War I and living through World War II may or may not
have informed his writing. Also, just what sort of weed are these
hobbits smoking?



Chapters covered
CH 1: A Long-Expected Party


CH 2: The Shadow of the Past


CH 3: Three is Company


CH 4: A Short Cut to Mushrooms


CH 5: A Conspiracy Unmasked


 


Topics include: Parsing Bilbo’s speech, what writer’s might learn
from LOTR and what they might avoid, the beautiful prose, what
it’s like to leave a place forever, and what goes into a great
metaphor.


Join us next week for part 2, part 3 the week after, then our
movie episode where we finish with Peter Jackson's 2001 film.
