“Following Bored of the Rings comes the equally irreverent parody of Tolkien's
other (and much, much shorter) masterwork, The
Hobbit.
Bingo Sac Grabbins is asked by the coughing
wizard Gandef and some (oddly Welsh) dwarves to help them relieve the great
dragon Smug of his gold.
SF author and Tolkien scholar Adam Roberts has written a parody [w]ith knowing digs at the fantasy genre in general and the mystique that has built around Middle Earth in particular.”
The
Soddit by A.R.R.R. Roberts is published by Gollancz
in hardcover (£8.99), originally released in 2003. Is there any connect to the
new Hobbit movie?
