Tolkien Week Author Event in Brown Library

As part of Tolkien Week, the ACU Brown Library has a guest author, Shawn E. Marchese, speaking on Friday, September 27, 2024, in the Packer Forum at 2:00 p.m. Marchese is the founding co-host of The Prancing Pony Podcast and the co-author of Why We Love Middle-Earth. His talk, “Wanderers in the World: Frodo as Elf-friend and the Enchantment of the Reader,” will explore Frodo’s journey of becoming an “Elf-friend” — a name full of meaning in Tolkien’s legendarium — and how that journey mirrors the reader’s experience of reading The Lord of the Rings.
