two 'p's Candice, but his earlier book on Tolkien was good; I havent
read the bio.
at one point I tried to get further into Lewis then found I couldn't go
with him.
there;s a marvelous story by the Australian SF writer, Greg Egan, in
which a Lewis type is offered, via cross-temporal travel, the chance to
save his wife by the advanced medical technology of a separate
worldline, but refuses it as a temptation of the devil....
science versus faith, indeed.....
