An inside look at the Inklings and their creative process C. S.
Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and the other Inklings met each week to
read and discuss each other's works-in-progress, offering both
encouragement and blistering critique. How did these conversations
shape the books they were writing? How does creative collaboration
enhance individual talent? And what can we learn from their
example? Complemented with original illustrations by James Owen,
Bandersnatch offers an inside look at the Inklings of Oxford—and
a seat at their table at the Eagle and Child pub. It shows how
encouragement and criticism made all the difference in The Lord of
the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, and dozens of other books
written by the members of this literary group. You'll learn what
made these writers tick and more: inspired by their example, you'll
discover how collaboration can help your own creative process and
lead to genius breakthroughs in whatever work you do. "No one knows
more than Diana Pavlac Glyer about the internal workings of the
Inklings. In Bandersnatch, she shows us how they inspired,
encouraged, refined, and opposed one another in the course of
producing some of the greatest literature of the last one hundred
years. A brilliant and beautifully clear case study of iron
sharpening iron." —Michael Ward, coeditor of C. S. Lewis at
Poets' Corner "The Inklings are about as important a group as ever
existed in the literary world. This tremendous new book about them
is much anticipated and hugely welcome!" —Eric Metaxas, New York
Times best-selling author of Bonhoeffer and Miracles "What a gift!
Bandersnatch is a joy to read and helps dispel that dangerous myth
that our greatest writers created in solitude. We all need
community in order to do our best work, and this book will show you
how some of the greatest minds of the twentieth century did just
that. You won't be able to read this book just once." —Jeff
Goins, founder of Tribe Writers and author of The Art of Work
