"Tolkien has become a monster, devoured by his own popularity and
absorbed by the absurdity of our time. The chasm between the beauty and seriousness of the work, and what
it has become, has gone too far for me. Such commercialisation has reduced the esthetic and philosophical impact of this creation to nothing. There is only
one solution for me: turning my head away."
- Christopher Tolkien, writer's son
