RE: What you may not know about C.S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis was a minimalist in language expression and defended the profound meaning of words with their practical denotation: “the most important sense of a word is not always the most useful... Men do not long continue to think what they have forgotten how to say.” So, in a way, I think that he abbreviated what was "evident" to him and had "meaning" for his linguistic sensibility was such that not only granted him access to the Inkings but helped him encode meaning into simple words... With the loss of Joy Davidman, whose children he was to raise as his own, Lewis published "A Grief Observed" under the pseudonym N. W. Clerk... Possibly, N. stood for "new," and W. stood for "widow"... I could write long and wide, I simply do not have a moment right now. ∜mp
oh this was perfect for you to analyze because Lewis was such a large literary figure! very interesting assessment if that's what it was, I don't quite understand all of it. I do know about his grief book and that is very insightful that the initials probably stood for New Widow, I bet it did. thanks so much @me422us for what you add to the comments.
It was rather "touching a common fiber"... I use myself abbreviations for pen names... :)
oh I understand, very good!
