Specifically, this interview was for Marquette University’s J. R. R. TOLKIEN FANDOM ORAL HISTORY COLLECTION, and it was a lot of fun to do! I did it last year, and they just let me know that my transcript is up. Tolkien’s always been a very important figure for me, both as someone to read and someone to emulate, so getting the chance to focus my thoughts on him was helpful.
If you’d like to do it, too, they’re still looking for people to interview. Sign up here!
