Fingolfin’s Findings LXVI: One of Tolkien’s greatest critics, Michael Moorcock, has never really read “The Lord of the Rings”
Fans all over the world will have heard of two influential critical pieces: “Oo, those awful orcs!” (Si apre in una nuova finestra) by Edmund Wilson (Si apre in una nuova finestra) and “Epic Pooh” (Si apre in una nuova finestra) [pdf] by Michael Moorcock (Si apre in una nuova finestra) (revised edition, British Fantasy Society, 1978).
What I did not know until recently is - Moorcock never read LotR in full.
Well.
