What I Read After That

Wow. More J.R.R. Tolkien. I admired the guy already, but to publish a new novel thirty years after you're dead -- now that's some hard work. (Or is it just running behind in your work? YOU decide!)

Apparently the story is a retelling of a shorter version contained in the Silmarillion, but I don't think that takes anything away from its interest, power or tragedy. And what a tragedy. Shakespearean isn't too strong a word. But it is hard to pronounce out loud.

A good read. I can't do it justice at all, which explains the deliberately poor quality of my review!
