Title: Towering Darkness
Review: It's easy to see why these stories were not published; they weren't finished. Putting aside the question of Walter Hooper's role (or non-role) in the present presentation of these stories, they lack the polish--even more the point of so much of Lewis's writing.On the other hand, there is a certain fascinating quality about a first draft which will recommend "The Dark Tower" to fans of writing as well as loyal followers for Professor Lewis. Their notably unfinished condition excites wonder as well as speculation about how the master might have finished them. That he didn't tells us as much as we need to know about the literary quality or place in the Lewis catalog of works.Only for the hard core Lewis or writing student.
