Christopher was homeschooled by his parents. As a child, he often wrote short stories and poems, made frequent trips to the library, and read widely. Some of his favorite books were Bruce Coville's Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher, Frank Herbert's Dune, and Raymond E. Feist's Magician (now available in volumes one and two), as well as books by Anne McCaffrey, Jane Yolen, Brian Jacques, E.R. Eddison, David Eddings, and Ursula K. Le Guin. The idea of Eragon began as the daydreams of a teen. Christopher's love for the magic of stories led him to craft a novel that he would enjoy reading. The project began as a hobby, a personal challenge; he never intended it to be published. Before he began writing Eragon, he plotted out the entire adventure. He found that doing some of the same things as his characters allowed him to better understand their world, as well as to think of descriptions that otherwise would not have occured to him. To this end he forged his own knives and swords, made chain mail, spun wool, camped in the Beartooth Mountains, made his own bow, built survival shelters, learned to track game, fletched arrows, felled trees, hiked, and camped. In short, the books embody a great deal of his experience of living in Montana. His work also combined elements gathered from research and from his imagination. He read a huge amount of folklore while growing up, ranging from the Brothers Grimm to Beowulf, Nordic sagas, and the Aeneid, along with contemporary fantasy and science fiction. In addition, he learned about weaponry, food, clothing, and customs from the Middle Ages, which is roughly the era he envisioned Eragon living in. Armed with that information, he daydreamed the scenes with his characters. Then he took pen to paper and tried to recreate those images with words. Christopher was fifteen when he wrote the first draft of Eragon. He took a second year to revise the book, and then gave it to his parents to read. The family decided to self-publish the book and spent a third year preparing the manuscript for publication: copyediting, proofreading, designing a cover, typesetting the manuscript, and creating marketing materials. During this time Christopher drew the map for Eragon, as well as the dragon eye for the book cover (which now appears inside the Knopf hardcover edition). The manuscript was sent to press and the first books arrived in November 2001. The Paolini family spent the next year promoting the book at libraries, bookstores, and schools in 2002 and early 2003.

This week on The Literary Life, we bring you another episode in our “Best of” series with a throwback to one of our 2021 Summer of the Short Story shows. In this episode, Angelina, Cindy, and Thomas talk about E. M. Forster's short story “The Machine Stops.” If you are interested in more E. M. Forster chat, you can go listen to our hosts discuss “The Celestial Omnibus” in Episode 17. Angelina points out how this story made her think of Dante. Thomas and Cindy share their personal reactions to reading “The Machine Stops.” They marvel at how prescient Forster was to imagine a world that comes so close to our current reality. They also discuss how to stay human in an increasingly de-humanizing world.  Past events mentioned in this episode replay: Back to School 2021 Conference: Awakening Cindy's new edition of Morning Time: A Liturgy of Love Cindy's Charlotte Mason podcast The New Mason Jar Commonplace Quotes: Imagination, in its earthbound quest, Seeks in the infinite its finite rest. Walter de la Mare (from “Books”) from “The Hollow Men” by T. S. Eliot This is the dead land This is cactus land Here the stone images Are raised, here they receive The supplication of a dead man's hand Under the twinkle of a fading star.       Is it like this In death's other kingdom Waking alone At the hour when we are Trembling with tenderness Lips that would kiss Form prayers to broken stone. The eyes are not here There are no eyes here In this valley of dying stars In this hollow valley This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms       In this last of meeting places We grope together And avoid speech Gathered on this beach of the tumid river       Sightless, unless The eyes reappear As the perpetual star Multifoliate rose Of death's twilight kingdom The hope only Of empty men.

Jared, Oriana and Ned discuss Jared's choice of topic: Beowulf. The famed Old English poem, the longest extant poetic work in general preserved in that language, almost accidentally survived over the years until it became more widely recognized in the 1700s, including surviving a fire. It has since become a cornerstone of studies of English literature, telling the story of a heroic Geat warrior who defeats two monstrous presences on a visit to an afflicted Danish kingdom, and who in later years as an aging king slays a dragon at the cost of his life and, it is strongly implied, his kingdom's. Tolkien knew the work thoroughly and regularly taught it in his academic career, leading to both a prose translation and various notes and commentaries that Christopher Tolkien presented and edited for a 2015 publication. But besides the notable connections that can be made between the poem and elements of his own legendarium, Tolkien has a further place in Beowulf scholarship thanks to his most famed academic work, the 1936 lecture “Beowulf: The Monsters and The Critics,” which single-handedly reframed the poem from being primarily seen as a historical document to being considered as a remarkable work of imagination. What are some of the key differences between Beowulf's world and ethos and Tolkien's own reworking of it into his legendarium, in terms of character, society and more? What points does Tolkien bring up in his lecture that provides a deeper insight into how he was not only arguing for the Beowulf poet – whoever it might be – but also placing his own work into that lineage? How do the portrayals of the various monsters Beowulf faces differ, and what in particular makes Grendel's mother such a fascinating character? And how many moments per episode are points raised and then suddenly realized to be maybe not accurate? (Sorry about that.)Show Notes.Jared's doodle. Gotta be careful with dragons.Ooooooh boy, the angst this Fellowship of Fans post unleashed in some corners when it came to Rings of Power rumors. (On a side note, RoP's Morfydd Clark is in the new two part Agatha Christie Murder is Easy adaptation on Britbox and is unsurprisingly really good!)The whole Matthew Weiner spoiler-war thing re Mad Men was a thing. Was it ever a thing. Here's a sample.Beowulf! You might have heard of it. Plenty of translations freely available, and of course there's Seamus Heaney and Maria Dahvana Headley and etc. And yes there's Tolkien's too.“HWAET!” (Tolkien allegedly really loved to get his students' attention by delivering this full on.)If you haven't read “Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics,” we really do encourage this. (And picking up the full essay anthology too, key pieces like “A Secret Vice” and “On Fairy-Stories” are included among others.)Kennings are very cool. (But please avoid ‘whale road.')Imagining Tolkien delivering this to the other Beowulf critics is something wild to think about.There's a wide variety of pieces about the women of Beowulf out there; here's one that provides a general summary and consideration about them.If you'd like to see the Nowell Codex, head on over to the British Library, physically or virtually.We've mentioned E. R. Eddison before. Definitely NOT Tolkien.The full historical background that Beowulf draws on is definitely there, though treating the poem as a history itself is not the way to go. Here's a useful piece tackling the history as such.The Geats aren't around as such anymore, and there are reasons for that…It's not directly mentioned in the episode but Tolkien did write and lecture about one of the ‘side' stories in Beowulf, with the results published in the book Finn and Hengest.Did we mention we're not impressed with Silicon Valley's take on Tolkien?Grendel's mother is, no question, awesome.Kenneth Grahame's “The Reluctant Dragon” – definitely not Smaug.“Sellic Spell” really is interesting, and may be the most notable part of the volume it's published in.Michael Crichton's Eaters of the Dead! (But avoid The 13th Warrior.)A last little bonus: didn't bring it up in the episode but Ned remembered seeing Robert Macneil's 1986 documentary series on PBS The Story of English back when it first ran, and the second episode, “The Mother Tongue,” has a brief bit discussing Beowulf and how it might have been performed as a song, as well as a separate section on the impact of the Viking invasions on English as a language led by noted Tolkien scholar and academic descendant Tom Shippey.Support By-The-Bywater (and our network) on Patreon, and you can hang out with us in a friendly Discord.

Jared, Oriana and Ned discuss Ned's choice of topic: The Notion Club Papers. Written in 1945 during a creative pause in completing the final third of The Lord of the Rings, The Notion Club Papers found Tolkien on familiar ground, creating a set of purported notes from regular club meetings among a group of Oxford professors much like himself and his fellow members of the famed Inklings. While not advancing beyond a couple of drafts and far from complete, the papers tell first of a professor who, due to a discussion on how spacecraft would work in science fiction, avers he has himself been able to travel in dreams through the reaches of space and meet other minds before returning to earth. One initially skeptical member over time then tells of his own unusual dream experiences, building up to a sudden moment during a massive storm where he invokes the language and imagery of the downfall of Númenor, in much the same fashion as The Lost Road did nearly a decade prior; related manuscripts found Tolkien revisiting the Númenorean story in particular, as well as speaking in detail about his invented language for the society. How does the novel's complicated structure work creatively, if at all, and is there something there that could have been developed further in later drafts? What does it mean that Tolkien seemed most at ease exploring the possible sources of his own creativity in such a second-hand fashion, even if the means by which he did so ended up being incredibly insular? What were the contemporary sources and inspirations for this effort among his fellow Inklings and beyond, and are there any parallels he acknowledges or, perhaps notably, ignores? And who wouldn't want to talk over the evident problems of medieval life while getting a haircut from Norman Keeps?Show Notes.Jared's doodle. This is why it's important to check the insulation on your windows.And indeed the WGA strike did end soon after we recorded our episode. SAG strike still ongoing for the moment!More from the Lord of the Rings musical revival, and who knows where it will go…Amazon's plans for ads for Prime Video, great. Lovely. Couldn't agree with that more. Yup.News about the Tales Of The Shire game and we are very curious indeed!Yeah that whole Warren Beatty Dick Tracy thing.There are indeed skeletons in Stardew Valley. (The upcoming game Ned mentioned is Wytchwood.)The Notion Club Papers! We recommend at least a little caffeine before reading.Knowing a little about the Inklings will not hurt at all when it comes to the Notion Club Papers.Socratic dialogue can indeed be rollicking.Our episode on “A Secret Vice.”Thomas Pynchon is out there and is happy not to be recognized.That Hideous Strength concludes the Space Trilogy by taking a Charles Williams direction (though as Jared notes, not very successfully).If you haven't seen Inspector Morse just ask a relative who still watches PBS a lot. (Because they've likely been watching Endeavour.)Interstellar is trippy, man. (In a formal Nolany way, but still.)The Great Storm of 1987 as reported on UK TV.“The Call of Cthulhu” is probably Lovecraft's most well known story. And boy does it have problems too!C. S. Lewis's “The Dark Tower” is a weirdly fascinating fragment, while An Experiment With Time by J. W. Dunne was a reference point for both Lewis and Tolkien in these works. Ringu aka The Ring, which of course has nothing to do with a certain other ring. We think.Monty Python's Constitutional Peasants, one of their most perfect moments.David Lindsay's A Voyage to Arcturus Tolkien definitely liked. The Worm Ouroboros by E. R. Eddison, rather more mixed. (And relatedly our episode on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.)The Grink! (RIP Twitter, culturally at least, but Bluesky is starting to gel more.)Per Ned's closing comment, Roger Zelazny's A Night In The Lonesome October has become a seasonal classic of sorts. (And the Gahan Wilson illustrations inside are a delight.)Support By-The-Bywater through our network, Megaphonic, on Patreon and hang out with us in a friendly little Discord!

Christopher Paolini drops by the Story Craft Cafe again to talk about his new releases this year, a sci fi thriller follow up called Fractal Noise, as well as his return this fall to the world of Eragon.  Christopher was homeschooled by his parents. As a child, he often wrote short stories and poems, made frequent trips to the library, and read widely. Some of his favorite books were Bruce Coville's Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher, Frank Herbert's Dune, and Raymond E.

Knopf Books For Young Readers, an imprint of Random House Children's Books. Michelle Frey, executive editor at Knopf, contacted Christopher and his family to ask if they might be interested in having Knopf publish Eragon. The answer was yes, and after another round of editing, Knopf published Eragon in August 2003. The book immediately became a New York Times Best Seller. https://youtube.com/live/qzyaqkPntK0

Sunday Evening Service Prayer Principles with Ps Patsy and Ps Jenny at Rhema Family Church

Caroline Stevermer joins us to discuss E.R. Eddison's "The Worm Ouroboros”, depictions of Elizabethan masculinity, characters that don't have parents, archaic language, excerpts from Western European literature, understanding characters through their deeds, a woman's virtue measured by her maidenhood, the passage of time in Tolkien's work, the taming the savages trope, the changing landscape of contemporary academia, San Francisco in 1906, and much more!

Ps Jenny teaches how to be "Living Stones" at Rhema Family Church

"You have to feel it to heal it."I think there's truth in that. Having "bad" feelings (not really bad, but uncomfortable feelings) is a part of our life.But what about "Men are that they might have joy"?Yeah. That's true. But we're not supposed to have joy ALL THE TIME. There's a time for happy and a time for sad.Listen as Eddison, Allison, and I talk through when and why we should feel our feelings.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

Sunday Evening Service Prayer Principles with Ps. Jenny

Sunday Evening Service Christian Worldview presented by Ps. Patsy and Ps. Jenny at Rhema Family Church

Elizabeth and John talk about fantasy's power of world-making with Edinburgh professor Anna Vaninskaya, author of William Morris and the Idea of Community: Romance, History and Propaganda, 1880-1914 ( 2010) and Fantasies of Time and Death: Dunsany, Eddison, Tolkien ( 2020). Anna uncovers the melancholy sense of displacement and loss running through Tolkien, and links his notion of "subcreation" to an often concealed theological vision. Not allegory but "application" is praised as a way of reading fantasy. John asks about hopeful visions of the radical politics of fantasy (Le Guin, but also Graeber and Wengrow's recent work); Elizabeth stresses that fantasy's appeal is at once childish and childlike. E. Nesbit surfaces, as she tends to in RtB conversations. The question of film TV and other visual modes comes up: is textual fantasy on the way out? Mentioned in the Episode: David Graeber and David Wengrow, The Dawn of Everything. In "From Elfland to Poughkeepsie" Ursula Le Guin perhaps surprisingly praises the otherworldly prose style of Anna's beloved E. R. Eddison, best known for The Worm Ouroboros (1922) J. R. R.

Elizabeth and John talk about fantasy's power of world-making with Edinburgh professor Anna Vaninskaya, author of William Morris and the Idea of Community: Romance, History and Propaganda, 1880-1914 ( 2010) and Fantasies of Time and Death: Dunsany, Eddison, Tolkien ( 2020). Anna uncovers the melancholy sense of displacement and loss running through Tolkien, and links his notion of "subcreation" to an often concealed theological vision. Not allegory but "application" is praised as a way of reading fantasy. John asks about hopeful visions of the radical politics of fantasy (Le Guin, but also Graeber and Wengrow's recent work); Elizabeth stresses that fantasy's appeal is at once childish and childlike. E. Nesbit surfaces, as she tends to in RtB conversations. The question of film TV and other visual modes comes up: is textual fantasy on the way out? Mentioned in the Episode: David Graeber and David Wengrow, The Dawn of Everything. In "From Elfland to Poughkeepsie" Ursula Le Guin perhaps surprisingly praises the otherworldly prose style of Anna's beloved E. R. Eddison, best known for The Worm Ouroboros (1922) J. R. R. Tolkien, "On Fairy Stories" E.
