[Something went wrong with the previous file and only half the interview was working--hopefully this new file corrects things--apologies!]
This week, we are thrilled to present our very first interview with author Gina Dalfonzo! Buy her book, Dorothy and Jack: The Transforming Friendship of Dorothy L. Sayers and C.S. Lewis. It's a very readable and insightful exploration of the deep and frequently overlooked friendship between two great Christian writers.
Next week, we'll have more Till We Have Faces, and guest-starring will be Inklings scholar Sorina Higgins! Before that happens, you are cordially invited to join her and many other Inklings scholars and fans online at Texmoot this Saturday.
Until next week!

I went back to listen to the first podcasts on the LTWW and you asked each other why the book endures or why “it works”, it occurred to me that something from Lewis’ youth might explain this phenomenon. Lewis describes in Surprised by Joy the day that Warnie brings into “the nursery the lid of a biscuit tin which he had covered with moss and garnished with twigs and flowers so as to make it a toy garden.” Lewis describes this incident as one of his Sehnsucht moments of Joy. I think that LTWW is Lewis’ literary toy garden for us as readers.
