“Bent” . . .
C.S. Lewis’ term from the “Out of the Silent Planet,” “Perelandra,” and “That Hideous Strength” space trilogy. I finished “Perelandra” last night at midnight (couldn’t put it down . . . way past my typical bedtime).
Bent men are more useful for evil than broken ones you see . .
You’ll really enjoy “That Hideous Strength” then. What I thought was some of the most powerful writing and ideas in my not inconsiderable experience with books.
