Employing a postmodernist literary approach, Kyoko Yuasa identifies
C.S. Lewis both as an antimodernist and as a Christian
postmodernist who tells the story of the Gospel to twentieth- and
twenty-first-century readers. Lewis is popularly known as an able
Christian apologist, talented at explaining Christian beliefs in
simple, logical terms. His fictional works, on the other hand,
feature expressions that erect ambiguous borders between
non-fiction and fiction, an approach similar to those typical in
postmodernist literature. While postmodernist literature is full of
micronarratives that deconstruct the Great Story, Lewis's fictional
world shows the reverse: in his world, micronarratives express the
Story that transcends human understanding. Lewis's approach
reflects both his opposition to modernist philosophy, which
embraces solidified interpretation, and his criticism of modernised
Christianity. Here Yuasa brings to the fore Lewis's focus on the
history of interpretation and seeks a new model.
