The Professor of Narnia's reception in Steel City was not steely at all! In fact, it was quite warm. The above picture shows me with some of the members of the Pittsburgh C. S. Lewis Society, a group I got started way back in 1999. It was great to see friends whom I haven't seen in a long while!The Society organized and hosted two events for The Professor of Narnia. (Thanks again to Lynn and Winifred!) The first one was on Monday night, November 17, at the Murrysville Public Library. The event was covered by two local newspapers. See one of the articles here: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribunereview/news/westmoreland/s_599234.html
The second event took place on Wednesday night, November 19, at St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Monroeville, PA. (Thanks to The Rev. Chris Klukas for hosting us!) Above you can see yours truly in front of a picture of St. Martin. (I hope he enjoyed hearing all about St. Jack!)
Before the meeting I had the pleasure of meeting, in Inkling-esque style, with a number of friends at a local pub. . . .
At St. Martin's we had quite a lively crowd, made up of people of all ages. The group asked some wonderful questions during the Q&A time like: Was C. S. Lewis anti-feminist because of what he wrote about Susan at the end of The Chronicles of Narnia?
I am also happy to say that I sold and signed a good number of books at the event!
