In this episode we investigate the grandfather of modern fantasy literature, J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit”— probably the most wholesome banned book we’ve covered! The story follows Bilbo, who’s convinced by a wizard to leave the sheltered comfort of his “hobbit hole” and reclaim a treasure guarded by the great dragon Smaug. Is this simply another rote exercise of “the hero’s journey”? Or has Tolkien’s epic transcend itself? —Does the cultural response to this myth point to some greater truth?
