Till We Have Faces

Post by Moose »

Has anyone read this CS Lewis book? It is one of my favourite books of all time. It's a reworking of the myth of Cupid and Psyche, beautifully written and with some fascinating characters and themes. Anyone want to discuss it?

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Time to die.

Sounds interesting but I'm afraid I've never heard of it. The only C.S. Lewis books I know are the Narnia books.

I love the Narnia books too... I like all of Lewis's fiction. Well most of it - I can think of one or two that I wasn't all that keen on. I'd recommend that you read TWHF if you are interested.
