Description

PICTURE THIS: WE ARE IN THE YEARS AFTER WORLD WAR II. The Inklings have been friends for a long time. J.R.R. Tolkien is no longer reading the manuscript of The Lord of the Rings to his mates. C. S. Lewis has also stopped reading his own work during the Inklings' Thursday night meetings. Now their gatherings focus on conversation. From time to time one of the Inklings reads aloud a poem, perhaps one of his own, perhaps not, and discussion follows. And once in a while, C. S. Lewis opens a copy of Amanda McKittrick Ros's novel Irene Iddesleigh and challenges the members to see which of them is capable of reading the longest "without breaking into helpless laughter" (Carpenter 225-26). Now picture this: It is 1898. Miss Louie Bennett of Dublin, along with two of her friends and an engineer named Burkitt, has sent English humorist Barry Pain a copy of Irene Iddesleigh. Pain reviews the novel in the magazine Black & White, ironically giving his review the title "The Book of the Century. " Amanda McKittrick Ros is not amused and retaliates with a vituperative attack on Mr. Pain in her next novel, Delina Delaney. Soon Delina Delaney dinners are the rage in London, with guests reciting Mrs. Ros's prose and sometimes playing an "Amanda game" wherein one poses a question and another answers "in keeping with the mood and spirit" of Amanda McKittrick Ros's unintentionally hilarious books (Loudan 52).
