Hello. Got here via a rec and found the essay to be a) well written and b) very interesting because I have never considered why Susan blanked it all out and haven’t heard the various comments other authors have made about it. My thought process was along the lines of ‘How could you not want to go back to Narnia? Fool’ and carried on reading – I was about 10 the last time I reread the series cover to cover. And at the time I didn’t know it was a big Christian metaphor, or more than a vague notion of sex. (I didn’t know His Dark Materials was anti-Christian either when I first read Northern Lights either…) And an atheist I wouldn’t have considered it from the Christian point of view that it was written from. XD!
