I love that people are still weighing in with comments on my Problem of Susan essay over three years after it was written. Warms the cockles of my heart, it does

Have you read Outliving the Universe? It also addresses Susan, and is a really interesting & thoughtful take.

Thank you for the link. It's a great essay.

I'm so glad you linked your original essay. I thought I had read it already but apparently not. Certainly you did a better job of puttubg into words my own feelings about people's dislike for Lewis' treatment of Susan--and with references! (I really have to get the rest of the series.) And beyond that...nothing insightful to say.

But to respond to your current post: I can't remember now if I realized that the Friends don't know that they are dead and Susan has survived them all. I always have that in the back of my mind when I think about Susan, and have read a few good fics (I think Yuletide) that deal with the very thing, but it's so easy to forget when analyzing the whole thing.

Dude! I'd never thought that either! Makes me wonder what they felt when they put two and two together.

How did we all miss that?
