Obtain Shoddy Lands Authored By C.S. Lewis Issued As Version

is anpage science fiction/fantasy short story that was originally published in the Februaryissue of Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction,

It is in some ways a truly bizarre story, If it had been written at a later time, I am sure that people would have been convinced that the person writing it was under the influence of drugs.


But if you know who C, S. Lewis was, that is really a ridiculous idea, He was born inand was a very wellknown British Christian apologist, among other things,

At leastof books and movies within the firstminutes of watching the movie or within the first few pages of reading a book I can tell you what the ending will beit is just that obvious.


This short story is truly different, I had so much trouble figuring it out as I read, However, the ending really does explain everything, And I know that C, S. Lewis really wanted to achieve that effect,

The thing I really like about this short story is that there really is a point to itwhether the person reading it agrees with that point or not.
There is a very religious or philosophical element to this story,

Some people who have read this short story have criticized it for being antiwoman, It does show a very shallow woman, But I think the character in the story could just as easily have been a shallow man and I really do not believe that C, S. Lewis was trying to criticize women in general,

I don't want to reveal the point because I don't want to ruin the ending for anyone who has not yet read it,

For anyone who wants to read a really different fantasy/science fiction short story that has a point, this would be the short story for them.
He is so . . "My view is that by the operation of some unknown psychologicalor pathologicallaw, I was, for a second or so, let into Peggys mind at least to the extent of seeing her world, the world as it exists for her.
At the centre of that world is a swollen image of herself, remodelled

to be as like the girls in the advertisements as possible, Round this are grouped clear and distinct images of the things she really cares about, Beyond that,
the whole earth and sky are a vague blur, The daffodils and roses are especially instructive, Flowers only exist for her if they are the sort that can be cut and put in vases or sent as bouquets, "
Alright, as I first read this I was APPALLED by the misogyny, but upon further reflection I am actually awed by the way Lewis used a very common societal issue to illustrate how little peopleANY peoplenotice and truly absorb about the world around them.
Color me impressed. If this were a caricature of an exchange, or rather the aftermath of an exchange, between two sides of the British House of Commons, as everything should be these days for the sheer satisfying dramatizing effect, I'd say this: 'The right honourable gentleman and his ideas are, to be certain, among the most disquieting things I have heard and seen in years, and though I have to disagree with someof what he said, boy, did he say it well.
'

in other words boy did he articulate the horrendous lack of faith and all things that matter a terrible ongoing disaster thanks to what I am guessing to be modernization fast on its way in the postwar society and everything was fine until he had to pick women to be the sacrificial lamb or maybe not a lamb since lamb are pure and trusting and ever following the steps of the master the savior, so what else might it be a bouquet of sharpened daffodils, painted roses in which manifests every single sin of ages of norms and standards thrust upon them, the women themselves, to bend them to the 'male's eyes' ideas of what constitutes to a woman, to control, to deny.
but once again: god, is he eloquent, The shoddy short story Rather than walking in someone eases shoes this character gets to percive in someone eases mind Librarian Note: There is than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
