The Theory Behind the Practice,
By Greg Slade "Grga" (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Of This and Other Worlds (Paperback)
Of This and Other Worlds is yet another collection of Lewis' essays. This one includes several essays and reviews related to stories, and specifically to fantasy and science fiction. This makes it a particularly convenient volume for fans of genre fiction, or simply those who want to know Lewis' views on fiction in general and fantasy and science fiction in particular. After all, Lewis is famous for his The Chronicles of Narnia, even if his Cosmic Trilogy is not so well known. This collection allows readers to get a glimpse of the theory behind the practice.
