INKLINGS Q & A: When C. S. Lewis was reading THE GREAT DIVORCE to J. R. R. Tolkien, Hugo Dyson, and the other Inklings, its working title was WHO GOES HOME? What did Tolkien suggest its title should be?
A: Lewis's fantasy is about the denizens of hell getting to visit heaven--though most end up returning to their infernal lair. Instead of WHO GOES HOME?, Tolkien quipped that the title should be HUGO'S HOME.
