"One can imagine many twenty-first evangelicals regarding contemporary Marks and Janes with enough contempt to be able to write a biting fake satirical news story about them, but not with enough depth and compassion to be able to make them the compelling and believable protagonists in a novel.
Yet it is the Christian imagination of Lewis to make precisely these the key to his imagined future." (205)

Susannah Black-Roberts essay is one of the most lovely and challenging things I have read in awhile. I am increasingly blown away by Lewis' brilliance.
"As it turns out, what was wrong with Susan is what was wrong with Jane, and it was the same thing that was wrong with Mark, and it turns out not to have anything to do with sex at all.
"She always was a jolly sight too keen on being grown up," says Jill of Susan."

Lewis shows us that repentance, conversion, & self-gift are in one sense perfectly ordinary, even prosaic -- and yet they participate in the most extraordinary epic adventure we can imagine. Arthur is King in Avalon, and in Edgestow.
