https://youtu.be/CSaprLzGIO8 Lewis thought Till We Have Faces was his best novel. Critics shrugged; readers still finish Book One standing at the edge of a mystery. This Mythic Mind introduction opens his retelling of Cupid and Psyche: Orual's veiled face, jealous love, and a myth that aims at the heart before it yields its meaning.
Dr. Andrew Snyder (professor of philosophy and theology) frames why this book feels less like allegory than the Ransom novels, what "bareface" was meant to name, and how to enter Orual's case against the gods without demanding a tidy moral on first pass.
Topics include myth versus on-the-nose allegory, imagination before explanation, and secondary reading that helps without replacing the story.
