For me, two very important events happened yesterday and today. Yesterday, November 22, 1963, C.S. Lewis died, his death being overshadowed by the assasination of John F. Kennedy. Aldous Huxley also died that day too. Lewis is well known for his Chronicles of Narnia books and also for his Christian apologetical works, even giving a series of radio lectures during World War II which would later form the book Mere Christianity. Among many works, Lewis also wrote science fiction, The Space Trilogy, and also, what I consider to be his best work, Till We Have Faces, a retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche.

Journey to the Sea, Issue 10 came out this past week! There’s an interview with pub patron, sometimes guest author, and our favorite Lovecraft scholar, Amy H. Sturgis, as well as an article on the fourth volume of L’Engle’s Time Quintet. I hope to find time to interact with some of this in the upcoming week (after Wednesday, when I take a professional certification exam in electrophysiology, which exam is kind of a big deal).
For those pub patrons itching to jump into the Augustana College assignment: You may begin tomorrow, April 6!
Lovecraft/Tolkien/Potter/Lots-of-other-fascinating-subjects scholar and somtimes Hog’s Head commenter Amy H. Sturgis has some updates that will be of interest for Hog’s Head readers:
Hi friends!
As you may know, I’ve begun narrating contemporary science fiction stories for the UK audio science fiction magazine StarShipSofa (http://www.starshipsofa.com). (You can hear my narration of Elizabeth Bear’s “And the Deep Blue Sea” at http://www.starshipsofa.com/podcast/StarShipSofa_Elizabeth_Bear_And_The_Deep_Blue_Sea.mp3 and other narrations will go up soon.)
As of today, I’ve also begun contributing an audio “article” for StarShipSofa’s “Aural Delights” Wednesday program, in which I give my commentary about a science fiction topic. These will run once a month. My first is available on today’s show at http://www.starshipsofa.com/podcast/Terry_Bisson_Bears_Discover_Fire_mp3.mp3 and it begins approximately 10 minutes into the podcast. If you listen, I hope you enjoy!
Have a great day!
Amy
