The first section attempts to determine what it is that makes Tolkien’s writing, specifically within The Lord of the Rings , stand out against other Christian fantasy, particularly within modern evangelical culture. The purpose of this is to determine how he uses faith within his fantasy differently, and makes that faith-based writing meaningful to his readers without leaving them feeling preached-at. The second section is an excerpt of my own novel, The Weight of Two Worlds , in which I have attempted to use Tolkien’s methods to incorporate faith in my fantasy writing.

Although a number of initiatives to preserve the “sung folklore” of the Nazi ghettos and camps were undertaken soon after the end of the Second World War, Kaczerginski’s magnum opus, the anthology Lider fun di getos un lagern (Songs of the Ghettos and Camps), published in New York in 1948, remains unsurpassed to this day as a resource for research in the field of Jewish folk and popular music of the Holocaust period. ii Chapter one of the dissertation recounts Kaczerginski’s life story, from his underprivileged childhood in Vilna, Imperial Russia (present-day Vilnius, Lithuania), to his tragic early death in Argentina.

The concept of space presented is that of personal and mental; writings that emerge from revealing internal thoughts and feelings. In addition, The Space Explorer builds upon individual aspects to contemplate more general topics. Such writings will include: imitations of Italo Calvino’s Invisibile Cities; a short story about a man so desperate to keep his farm from bankruptcy he decides to traffic drugs; short glimpses of thoughts in the form of haiku; and many more.

I woke up that morning to the sound of Sophia’s quiet breathing. When we first got together I would want her to wake up early with me, but she’s never been a morning person, and I’ve learned after fifteen years of marriage that it’s better to just let her keep sleeping. I got up slowly and tiptoed to the bathroom. Every morning I would perform something of a ritual. I’d brush my teeth, splash water on my face, make coffee, and go out into the backyard to watch the sunrise over our peaceful, private yard. Sophia and I had lived in Brooklyn for a few years, but had gotten sick of all the noise and traffic.
