C.S. Lewis, Trauma, and the World Wars

As always, if you enjoy this program, please leave us a five-star review on iTunes.  

 

Dr. Katherine Wyma joins Chris to talk about how Lewis' writing reflects his experiences in World War I.  In particular, she suggests that his writing about World War II may be a form of narrative therapy that helped him cope with psychological wounds from the previous war.

Katherine mentions a few books listeners might want to check out:

The Maisie Dobbs mystery series

A Morning After War, by K.J. Gilchrist

C.S. Lewis and the BBC, by Justin Phillips
