Almost a microblog, this – a notification that my friend Chris Lovegrove (with whom I collaborated on a read-though of the Snow Spider stories: see this example from Chris, and this from me) is giving notice of a read-through, in publication order, of the Chronicles of Narnia, starting in November, under the title Narniathon21. He is incredibly well read and thoughtful: it will be a wonder.
I come back to C S Lewis on my blog fairly often, but not always to Narnia, although the present scambling and unquiet time sends me back to Puddleglum more often than not if I catch the news. Perhaps I need to ponder why I have not come back to Narnia more often or in more depth.
Whatever the answer, I am looking forward to Chris’ look, book by book, at everyone from Lucy to Tirian, from Jadis to Shift, from Calormen to Stable Hill. And maybe confronting my discomfort.

I’m looking forward to your commentary, Nick, as we progress through the books, ending nearly 66 years after the appearance of The Last Battle. At a time of great uncertainty (lasting I fear a few more years, more’s the pity) Narnia might be a good place to contemplate illusion and reality, resident evil and burgeoning resistance to it.

The more I look at the deceit we are offered, the more I think of Shift…

Yes indeed, though when I think of our government I mentally remove the ‘f’ in the ape’s name.
