Status Updates From In the House of Tom Bombadil

I am NOT a fan of Wiley mentioning what Tolkien himself said Tom represents, and then debunking it and saying basically, "that's not it." The correct response is, "hmm, let's ask what he was implying when he said that and what he wanted us to think about." The way this section is written is extremely arrogant and disrespectful to authors.

“Paradoxically, it’s because Tom knows where he ends and other people begin that he’s free. He knows his limits.”
