The Weight of Glory features nine memorable addresses C. S. Lewis delivered during World War II. Considered by many to be his most moving address, the title essay, "The Weight of Glory," extols a compassionate vision of Christianity and includes lucid and compelling discussions on forgiveness and faith. "On Forgiveness," "The Inner Ring," and the other much-quoted pieces display Lewis's breadth of learning and spiritual insight that have made him the most influential Christian of the twentieth century.

These addresses are living treasure, all of them. The narrator is great. Listen, believe, be changed.

A carnival rolls in sometime after the midnight hour on a chill Midwestern October eve, ushering in Halloween a week before its time. A calliope's shrill siren song beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. In this season of dying, Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery.

Enjoy as Poetry Not Prose

This book is a fantastic treat if you listen to it knowing it is an extended free-verse poem. If you listen to it as a novel, you will likely cringe at Bradbury's extended linguistic riffs, in which he again and again circles back to describe things from multiple angles. There are some truly brilliant passages in here, swirling with evocative details, almost Rococo in a dark and ponderous way. I did not find the ending very satisfying - I felt it was far too silly for such a splendid mineshaft of a book. Apparently a humanist of sorts, Ray Bradbury eloquently describes but ultimately has no way to explain concepts like real, objective good and evil, borrowing notions of morality from other world views and planting them in this small town world with little or no foundation. And so the ending of this otherwise brilliant coming of age novel crumbled a bit under the weight of my high expectations. Still, viewed as poetry, this work feels what it cannot explain and will powerfully move a reader who can resist the urge to treat it as a novel.
