C.S. Lewis: finding God when we thought we were alone

Well, all right, but your wording in context did not make that clear. You seemed to be comparing Tolkien in general with with Lewis in general, not Tolkien with just Narnia:

“Tolkien built a world, something Lewis never managed or perhaps wasn’t interested in.”

You say that Lewis “never managed” the creation of a world, implying that the failure extended beyond the Narnia series. So I took it that you were generalizing about the totality of Lewis’s imaginative writing. And I would say that he did create worlds (even in the Narnia series, but also elsewhere); hence my objection. Whether they were coherent or plausible worlds, or were as impressive as Tolkien’s world, is a different matter.
