Hello,
There was an interesting discussion on about Lewis nationality, and I would be glad to have the opinion of the native narnians
about it
The discussion on Wikipedia is quite long & not very easily read because of the minimalist layout, so I will sum it up. Can we call Lewis an Irish writer because he was born in Belfast, had an Irish passport and thought of himself as of an Irishman? Or would we rather call him an English writer, because all his works are written in English & not in Gaelic?
I found no indication here at bio page, where this question is not treated at all, and other sites do their best not to state on this matter - "Irish born writer", "Anglo-Irish writer" etc... What do you think? What do you say spontaneously - English, Irish, or neither?
I should also add that I am a new member of this prosperous community - Hi all - but of course any Lewis fan & reader is my brother (sister) in arms, by definition ;) :)
