Around the Common Room

by Travis Prinzi on October 7, 2008

A few items of interest:

Journey to the Sea’s most recent issue came out last week, and there’s an article there with a name on it you’ll recognize.

Zossima.com has two free audio files on C.S. Lewis available for download. These lectures comprise two chapters of C.S. Lewis: Views from Wake Forest, a new essay collection on C.S. Lewis that is getting great reviews.

If you haven’t purchased John Granger’s The Deathly Hallows Lectures yet, you might be enticed to do so by reading the introduction to the book, now available for free download at Zossima.com (see the sidebar on the main page).

The two audio files of lectures on Lewis, along with two more can also be downloaded from:

The two additional lectures are another by Walter Hooper, and one given by Bruce Edwards.

Nice job on the article. I thought that the last sentence was especially powerful.

I can’t help but think of Vernon Dursley as you describe a “scientific fatalist.” Also of the fact that trying to explain things to children can reawaken your awe at the mystery of it all. My kids are fascinated by the fact that cows, who eat only grass or hay, can somehow turn that into milk. Magic!

I discuss that very thing in chapter one of my book!
