From: utzoo!decvax!cca!csin!cjh Newsgroups: net.sf-lovers Title: Nichols Encyclopedia view of Zelazny Article-I.D.: csin.275 Posted: Wed Feb 23 12:11:09 1983 Received: Thu Feb 24 08:50:00 1983 In response to your message of Tue Feb 22 00:21:58 1983: As usual in the longer Nichols entries, there is a howler in this one: Narnia does \not/ provide the ontological basis for the universe. This is shown conclusively in THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW, in which (rather than going straight to Narnia) all travel occurs through a wood of worlds, and emphasized in THE LAST BATTLE, in which the Narnia that we knew is shown as merely a shadow of the ur-Narnia which the redeemed enter into.
