Christopher Tolkien interview

[Alcuin]

Quite interesting: some insight on CJRT as a person, and as Tolkien’s son and literary successor. (http://www.worldcrunch.com/culture-society/my-father-039-s-quot-eviscerated-quot-work-son-of-hobbit-scribe-j.r.r.-tolkien-finally-speaks-out/hobbit-silmarillion-lord-of-rings/c3s10299/#.UOqfDHIrnqW) His dream about his father and The Silmarillion is, for me, the most interesting passage.

The interview is about three years old.

He takes good care of his father's legacy. I just don't get it, why he hates the movies so badly :). Okay, The Hobbit was not very good (I really didn't like it), but Lord of the Rings trilogy was really good (although different from the books).
