Why the bigotry of CS Lewis’s Narnia books shouldn’t disqualify their magic
Seventy years on, Lewis’s enthralling world has been criticised by Philip Pullman et al. But should children be denied its charms?

It’s impossible to exaggerate the impression the Narnia books made on me when I discovered them as a child. I adored them so much that when my mother suggested reading The Lion, The Witch & the Wardrobe as a bedtime story for me and my little brother, I vetoed it, and made such a fuss that she gave up. I didn’t want my brother to get into Narnia, I wanted it all to myself. Aslan would certainly have growled at such a selfish little beast, but my brother simply went and read the stories on his own.

When Ducharmeâs 2019 Time article on Juul came out, it was pretty tough to walk around New York without seeing the vape device. I was excited when I found out that article was to grow into a book, and the story Ducharme offers is a bizarre, somewhat frightening page-turner (and is set to become a docuseries, to boot). âCarliann Rittman, reviews editor
The Atmospherians
(Atria)
A woman named Sasha Marcus is harassed and canceled by menâs rights activists after speaking her mind in response to an internet troll in McElroyâs engrossing novel. Sasha then accepts a new gig helping her failed actor friend start a cult designed for men to purge themselves of toxic masculinity. McElroyâs conceit works on multiple levels, with incisive satire, earnest explorations of male identity, and a gripping plot.

Well, my friends, it is winter here where I live and Christmas is well on its way. The trees are up (we have two, a tradition that started because my family fought over which one we should cut down), the lights are hung inside and outside the house, and for the first time ever we have a brightly lit reindeer on the roof. The kids are making plans to bake cookies with Grandma, and the radio is recycling seventy-five years of Christmas tunes.
C.S. Lewis built the perfect kid-friendly metaphor to describe the horrors of the White Witch’s winter rule: It’s always winter, but never Christmas. While we adults might get caught up in the everyday concerns (How will the Narnians grow food? Will they get enough Vitamin D? Do they have to shovel their driveways every day?), children are faced with the real horror: Santa will never arrive with their gifts. The celebration never comes.
