For here, in the intimate letters to a lifelong friend to within weeks of the author's death, we have the total autobiography of the total Lewis: scintillating, serious and sad. And indeed all three are there: the wit, the Christian apologetics and, in some letters hitherto under seal, the heartbreak of seeing an older brother slither into tragic alcoholism. Here, savoured with the fullness of the footnotes, is Lewis's life, told with far more subtlety and unbought eloquence then any attempt of the biographer." -- front fold over blurb.
