Some interesting information on Eugène Vinaver (mentioned on the Richard C. West page as the expert on entrelacement that West was studying under) is here. Verlyn Flieger has also written on Vinaver, I think it was in "Tolkien and the Idea of the Book" in The Lord of the Rings 1954-2004: Scholarship in Honor of Richard E. Blackwelder (2006).

From C. S. Lewis: an Annotated Checklist of Writings about Him (1974), page 46: "West, Richard, (ed.). "Letters of C. S. Lewis to E. Vinaver." Orcrist, No.6 (Winter 1971–1972): 3–6, 24. While Vinaver was a Visiting Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he gave West six letters which Lewis had sent him or his wife - one of 46." So was West actually studying "under" Vinaver at the time, or were they just in the graduate school of English there at the same time? Carcharoth ( talk) 08:41, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
I think Larsen has written about this reference to the Moon aspects, but has anyone mentioned it in the context of entrelacement? It is from the chapter 'Minas Tirith':
He wondered where Frodo was, and if he was already in Mordor, or if he was dead; and he did not know that Frodo from far away looked on that same moon as it set beyond Gondor ere the coming of the day.
Or is this an example of the opposite of entrelacement? It might be something else, but I was reminded of it when reading the bit in this article about Tolkien weaving "an elaborately intricate story, presented through the eyes of the Hobbit protagonists [...] letting the reader know no more than what one Hobbit sees as he struggles forwards" (though here he is linking two threads).
