Reviews

'...The Enemy is an excellent biography because of the moving picture it gives of a neglected genius struggling against the zeitgeist, and against poverty to produce a uniquely valuable body of work. It is a very readable book and gives proper emphasis to Lewis' comic gifts.' Paul Edwards, Enemy News 'The book is richly informative, fair, lively and in every good sense disinterested.' Denis Donoghue, New York Review of Books '...solid and well documented, without being pointlessly massive or tediously long.' Bernard Begonzi, Times Literary Supplement 'The Enemy remains the best life of Lewis.' Phil Baker, The Guardian
