![]() Lewis provides a synopsis of the myth in an appended note. The subtitle of the book is A Myth Retold, referring to the myth of Cupid and Psyche. Till We Have Faces may be more obscure than some of Lewis’s other works, but its complexity and depth make it a challenging read for all the right reasons. ![]() An author’s lasting enthusiasm about a work can, I think, indicate similar quality. If the professor is enthusiastic about teaching the class, there’s a very good chance it will be particularly enjoyable and worthwhile for the students. I compare it to the way I’ve been excited every time when, on the first day of a college class, a professor lets slip that this class - the one that I’m in right now - is his or her favorite of the quarter. Lewis said he considered Till We Have Faces his best-written book. It is, however, the one Lewis called his favorite. Yet beyond the widely read Chronicles of Narnia, it’s still a better wager that any given person has read Mere Christianity, or The Screwtape Letters, or The Great Divorce, and probably even Lewis’s space trilogy, rather than Till We Have Faces. ![]() The recent movies based on two of the Narnia books have probably given them a secure place as Lewis’s best known. ![]()
