It's Shipwreck versus J.R.R. Tolkien (versus New York).
In October of 2015 we made the arduous journey to Brooklyn's Bell House for New York Super Week and formed the fellowship of Lauren Beukes, Isaac Fitzgerald, Myke Cole, Sarah Griffin, Molly Templeton, and Ashley C Ford to take up arms against The Lord of the Rings (with Cecil Baldwin as the party's raconteur). The results: worthy of many a ribald song in the Shire after dark.
