In reading Alvin Journeyman again I found something that I hadnt realized the first 20 times I read it. OSC references the Lord of the Rings. Is this common knowledge?
Its when Alvin and Arthur sing the song in jail and he sings the verse;
Alone with my imagining I dreamt the darkest dream, Of tiny men, a spider's sting, And in a land of smoke and steam An evil golden ring.

I'm new to the forum, sorry. I was just reading it on my lunch break and it was one of those clouds open up and a ray of sun hits you moments.

quote:I tipped my hat to Tolkien for the debt that all fantasists owe to him by having a character - was it Alvin? - dream a dream that was obviously a scene from Lord of the Rings. I meant it as a joke between me and my readers, but some have unfortunately sought to reconcile the two works as if I were asserting that they take place in the same fictional universe. I was not.
