If anyone wants to read the antithesis to Tolkien they should read Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast's trilogy : Titus Groan, Gormenghast and Titus alone. All written before 1960 and un usual in that they don't pertain to any fantasy world in effect and root themselves in everyday reality punctuated by surrealism.
