3.0

The Dark Tower, presented as the cap to Lewis's fiction, is explicitly a view of the man working; That's how I can read certain paragraphs, that and as minor work. Fragments in general provide open halves, and this period gives unique pairings of mythology and science fiction. Read after the Space Trilogy - the whole thing - and the productive connections become very obvious indeed. If you're feeling less than generous toward late-Narnia Lewis, nothing here is likely to help.
