"My whole life...What a waste. To spend years on countless years arranging and editing my father's works, only to one day sit down and read a book by R. Scott Bakker. It made my father's lifework look like crumpled toilet paper, such was its perfection. The intense battles, the real world philosophy that is so expertly woven throughout the narrative, the lore as black as midnight, it was unbearable in its supremacy. I hereby resign as director of the Tolkien Estate. Let Amazon do what they want with it, it doesn't matter anymore."

~ Christopher Tolkien, Private Correspondence.
