Mai’s Reviews > The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien > Status Update

Must admit, I'm flagging a little. JRRT's increasing fame seems to have been a frustrating experience for the poor man, and in the last 20 or 30 letters that I've read, he seems mostly to be dealing with repetitive issues of irritating fans, press disasters, poor health and his struggle to get the time to finish the Silmarillion. It's a little distressing actually.
