Description: "Wesley Kort takes the opportunity of C.S. Lewis's recent centenary toassess the author's ongoing appeal, to examine his critique of modern culture,and to explore the varied riches he has personally found in decades ofrereading. Taking into account a wide-ranging legacy of fiction, autobiography,and essay, he concentrates his attention on Lewis's ability to imagine a rich,collective life --a shared communal vision. Kort argues that the post-modernworld in which we live is ripe for a writer so adept at building bridges betweenvarious constituencies, so versatile in his mastery of different kinds ofwriting. After years of teaching Lewis to Duke undergraduates, he now brings hissmart, timely discoveries to the rest of us."--Peter S. Hawkins, BostonUniversity
