LETTERS TO MALCOLM Chiefly on Prayer

C.S Lewis taught at both Cambridge and Oxford. Ralph Cosham’s narration captures the essence of the scholar; one can easily believe Professor Lewis is delivering these “letters” himself. The fictitious letters form an imaginary ongoing conversation on Christianity, specifically prayer, between two men, Lewis and Malcolm. Lewis’s device of an imaginary correspondence becomes an interesting medium as delivered by Cosham. With masterly control he gives the letters life, expertly arguing points of contention, ironing out misunderstandings, and reveling in the points of agreement. In addition, he touchingly depicts the personal dramas of each man’s life. E.J.K © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2011]
