5.0 out of 5 stars Brief note, 24 May 2009
By Alan Tucker (Stroud, Gloucestershire Great Britain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Childermass (Human Age Tetralogy) (Paperback)
The subject of the Childermass is the immediate arrival at a life after death, a place and state described in touristic detail. With David Lindsay's Voyage to Arcturus - a very different but equally intriguing masterpiece - it creates a complete world of its own, offering a tourist's/traveller's-eye account of a parallel universe. J.G.Ballard has something of Lewis's style, though his work doesn't equal the imaginative intensity of Lewis's vision. Both men lived through horrifying wartime experiences, Lewis as a soldier in the 14-18 war. All three books of Lewis's trilogy are very readable - Childermass is the first and best. The sequels were written later with a more general readership in mind. The Childermass is worth buying for the opening chapters then keep going until the Bailiff appears, a figure worthy of Cervantes. Chapter One opens:
'The city lies in a plain, ornamented with mountains. These appear as a fringe of crystals to the heavenly north.'
A hardened realist's view of the City of God
