[net.sf-lovers] Nichols Encyclopedia view of Zelazny

cjh (02/23/83)

In response to your message of Tue Feb 22 00:21:58 1983:

   As usual in the longer Nichols entries, there is a howler in this one:
Narnia does \not/ provide the ontological basis for the universe. This is
shown conclusively in THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW, in which (rather than going
straight to Narnia) all travel occurs through a wood of worlds, and
emphasized in THE LAST BATTLE, in which the Narnia that we knew is shown
as merely a shadow of the ur-Narnia which the redeemed enter into.

Narnia is an invention of C.S.Lewis, not Zelazny.
