Welcome back talking to James Como.

Here he is.

James Como, your new book, which is about C.S. Lewis's book, Paralyandra. Your book is called

Mystical Paralandra, my lifelong reading of C.S. Lewis and his favorite book. You write

about so much in mystical perilandra. 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.

You know, 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 suma

of Western cosmology, theology, Lewis's beliefs. It's extraordinary. You don't have to read

it at that depth. You can enjoy it as an action-adventure epic. But once you decide to read into

it, there's no end. That's what's so

amazing is that Lewis in Paralandra, he kind of puts everything. And one of the things that he puts

into Paralandra, I wouldn't have known how to talk about it until Michael Ward wrote his book,

Planet Narnia, about,

can you talk about that for a minute, just to frame this?
