Here's a question for advanced Lewis pundits: Who is Mr. Slikisteinsauga and where does he appear in Lewis's fiction?

A: The name means "Sleekstone Eyes" in Old Norse. (A sleekstone is a whetstone, used to sharpen blades.) This fellow shows up at the end of PILGRIM'S REGRESS; with his sharp vision, he helps the newly-converted pilgrim John see the true contours of the 20th-century cultural landscape.
