Media coverage of Lewis 's death was almost completely overshadowed by news of the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy , which occurred on the same day ( approximately 55 minutes following Lewis 's collapse ) , as did the death of English writer Aldous Huxley , author of '' Brave New World '' . This coincidence was the inspiration for Peter Kreeft 's book '' Between Heaven and Hell : A Dialog Somewhere Beyond Death with John F. Kennedy , C. S. Lewis , & Aldous Huxley '' . Lewis is commemorated on 22 November in the church calendar of the Episcopal Church
