What does Philip Pullman’s Daemon Voices have to say about the Inklings? Guest Post by Wesley Schantz

What does Philip Pullman’s Daemon Voices have to say about the Inklings? Guest Post by Wesley Schantz



For a long time, Philip Pullman’s been my favorite living writer. And for practically as long as I’ve loved his stories, particularly The Golden Compass, I’ve been aware of his harsh criticisms of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. (That’s actually how I found this site, as I was researching recent discussions on the topic and came across this post from last January. I hope that in some respects what follows will be a continuation of the discussion Brenton and his readers were having there in the comments.)

Whatever your feelings about him might be, Pullman’s been back in the news lately with the release of a trailer for the new BBC adaptation of The Golden Compass (not to be confused with the regrettable 2007 feature film) and the announcement of an October release of his next book.
