A highly varied selection, in both subject matter and style, of essays and short stories. The essays range from hard scholarship to literary and cultural criticism on to personal meditations, the subjects ranging from Geoffrey Chaucer to Mickey Mantle. The stories, too, are varied: realism, fantasy, borderline erotic (but never X-rated), psychological probative and deeply religious. The reader may skip about. Rare is the reader who will like everything, rarer still the reader who will find nothing that rewards attentive reading. James Como is known mostly for his scholarship related to C. S. Lewis but has written much else: essays and stories (of which those here are a small selection) and poetry. He is now retired from fifty years of college teaching, married for nearly sixty years, and a father and grandfather, now living in Manhattan.
