Take some advice from @cadwellturnbull.bsky.social: You should read Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow. Then you should read Children of God.

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.
Loved it!
A presenter, Tom Hillman, stands confidently at a podium, addressing an audience with a focused expression.
Did you miss #Tolkien author Thomas P. Hillmanβs talk at #westmoot25? You can read his fascinating paper online!

We've got a bonafide expert guest on today's show in @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social as we discuss THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME, father/daughter film faves, and more. He brought his own ITIDIC, people. This is the sign of a true pro!

![Linguistic Variation in Tolkien's Writing Styles β Oxonmoot 2023 [missing start]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mvsj7wwyvl4fegc3cozmlfut/bafkreiemp53za22o6e327w3tw7vbpuuxuuxeyq6ynoue7vper3cj2xruzu)
This video is missing its start but it was the greatest talk of Oxonmoot 2023 imo and has some really important data about Tolkien's style. It may be second only to his Christopher Tolkien Centennial Conference talk as his best Tolkien talk, but that one hasn't been released yet.
βWhy was Tolkien writing about fairies in a war zone?"
That question helped launch @johngarthwriter.bsky.social into researching Tolkienβs life during the War, and shed new light on the origins of Middle-earth!
Our full conversation is live now!
Just one week until acclaimed fantasy author @zenaldehyde.bsky.social delivers this yearβs Tolkien Lecture! For those unable to attend in person, the lecture will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel. We canβt wait to see you all there!
