wretched of middle earth book club
its 31 pages (the introduction is only 3) its not imo a particularly dense or difficult read and insofar as it is specifically about tolkien, i think it is overall a very good analysis of how race is translated into fantasy in a way that obfuscates its relation to real-world racial hierarchy while simultaneously reifying it. and tolkien (and his construction of fantasy race) obviously is hugely influential to the fantasy genre as a whole
