reviewed On Stories: And Other Essays on Literature on March 05, 2019 On Stories: And Other Essays on Literature
Reading Lewis is always an enriching experience. Each read through his works offers meals with delightful and interesting food for thought. This was my first experience with this book. One of the take-aways that has taken root is something I was already feeling impressed to do. Now it's more cemented within me and it's given me a deeper understanding and reason for what I'm working towards. That is to reread. I have reread some books, but not with the energy and purpose I'm working towards now. Lewis didn't feel he knew a book well enough to even comment on it until he read it more than once.
Some of the essays were unfinished. It didn't make much of a difference in the reading experience. You still get his whole gist.
The book finishes with a transcribed conversation with Lewis and a few other writers. I enjoyed reading it as if I were listening. And that joke Lewis cracked at the end! Ha! Loved it! It was a perfect ending to an excellent work.
