From his rare vantage point
as Lewis's student, friend, and professional colleague, Professor John
Lawlor recalls Lewis "in his habit as he lived." He offers an
unforgettable account of studying under Lewis and an enchanting
depiction of undergraduate life at Oxford between the wars. To round
out his picture, Professor Lawlor draws on the recollections of other
associates of Lewis, including a close comparison with J.R.R. Tolkien.
These sketches are complemented by an exposition of Lewis' science fiction and Chronicles of Narnia. There is also an assessment of Lewis' neglected notion of "happiness," noting its links with 19th-century English romanticism. After measuring Lewis's scholarly achievement, Professor Lawlor concludes with his own understanding of this complex man, in whom "maddening obstinacies and sword-sharp disclaimers co-existed with an untroubled awareness of the highest order."
