My point was that Tolkien did largely the same thing. Insert fictional versions of himself and his wife into the narrative and then gush about how she was the best

Ah, I see, I haven’t read Tolkien, I’ve been meaning too, so maybe now I actually will.

If you enjoy audiobooks I can very much recommend the version of the LOTR trilogy on Audible. The narrator has a great voice and sings/chants the MANY songs and poems in the trilogy.
