Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show with your host, Eric Mataxis.

Welcome back talking to James Como. Here he is. James Como, your new book,

which is about C.S. Lewis's book, Parallandra.

Your book is called Mystical Parallandra, my lifelong reading of C.S. Lewis,

and his favorite book.

You write about so much in Mystical Parallandra.

I mean, when you're talking about Lewis, you're sort of talking about everything.

And it's kind of like what you said about what Lewis said about Edmund Spencer,

who wrote the fairy queen and what we say about Lewis.

I mean, he touches everything.

Henry James said something about Shakespeare, which I think is true of C.S. Lewis.

He said the thing about Shakespeare is nothing was lost on him.

And everybody who knew Lewis, he had this memory filed,

you know, nothing was, everything was present.

Everything he ever read was present to him, you know.

And a lot of it is in this book, which is almost a summa of Western cosmology, theology,

Lewis's beliefs, it's extraordinary.

You don't have to read it at that depth.
