Wright’s “Simply Lewis” Despite his estimable gifts as […]

C. S. Lewis and the “300″

March 11th, 2007

“They propound mathematical theorems in beleagured cities, conduct metaphysical arguments in condemned cells, make jokes on scaffolds, discuss the last new poem while advancing to the walls of Quebec, and comb their hair at Thermopylae. This is not panache; it is our nature.” —C. S. Lewis, “Learning in War Time.” Thermopylae is the famous battle […]

CSL, Friendship, Joseph Epstein

February 21st, 2007

Joseph Epstein’s wry book, Friendship: An Expose, cites Lewis’s The Four Loves several times, and carries onward a friendly debate about whether men and women can, indeed, enjoy a friendship with no sexual intentions or tensions in the modern world (CSL says, no). The whole book, like most of Epstein’s essays, is worth your time, […]

Some Quick Takes: A 2nd Viewing of Narnia, A Push Back at the Elitist Left, and an Invitation

January 25th, 2006

A SECOND LOOK I waited almost six weeks, but I went back to see LWW again in the theatres this past weekend. I surprised by how much more I enjoyed it without my critical lenses on–focusing on virtues rather than shortcomings. I was also surprised by how many people were there–such a healthy crowd, a […]

King Kong’s Kolossal Kinetic Kollapse

December 18th, 2005
