The Great Divorce! I am going through Dante's The Divine Comedy currently, and one of the lecture (from 100 Days Of Dante) points to how Lewis most likely drew from the Divine Comedy as inspiration and it makes me want to re-read it (again). It's so good.

Interesting! I have never read The Divine Comedy, but this bit of info may end up becoming my entry point... I find myself thinking of the characters in The Great Divorce often in everyday life. Seeing them in myself or in people I meet. Aspiring to be like Sarah Smith of Golders Green and knowing for sure I don't want to end up like that little guy crawling up the chain held by the puppet! Thanks so much for reading my letter, Haley, and for taking time to respond.
