Bandersnatch: C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Creative Collaboration of the Inklings by Diana Pavlac Glyer

informative inspiring lighthearted

4.0

As someone interested in writing, revising, editing, and creativity in general, I found this pretty interesting and enlightening. I didn’t know much about most of the works mentioned, but I love Lord of the Rings, so I was most intrigued by the parts regarding the writing of that. As a minor point, though, I do not think Bandersnatch is the best title: it’s a word from Lewis Carroll, who this book has nothing to do with, so that’s inherently confusing. (CS Lewis used it to describe Tolkien once, is the explanation. But it’s still a word coined by and associated with Carroll, so I’d have advised picking a different title.)
