Alan Jacobs, author of the excellent The Narnian: The Life and Imagination of C.S. Lewis (don’t judge the book by its cover!), Douglas Wilson (author of the soon-to-be-released insightful book What I Learned in Narnia) and N. D. Wilson (who is writing the screenplay for the forthcoming film adaption of The Great Divorce)—sit down to talk about C. S. Lewis’s worldview, imagination, and writing. Listen especially for Jacobs’s insightful take on the key element from the Narnia books that can’t be replicated in the films.

The fascinating conversation is about an hour and 15 minutes. Impatient types can fast-forward the first 30 seconds!

I’ll post an audio file link if it becomes available.

Oh, one other note. Some readers will be aware of Michael Ward’s groundbreaking work on the secret key of the Narnia books (Planet Narnia—see my post on it here). Jacobs explains that he started reading the book unconvinced, but finished the book definitively convinced. But he offers a caution or two as well. Tyndale has now published a popular-level version of Ward’s book: The Narnia Code: C. S. Lewis and the Secret of the Seven Heavens.
