Episode 7: Interview with Matt Mikalatos on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Matt Mikalatos is the author of the Sunlit Lands fantasy trilogy, starting with The Crescent Stone. He also writes a bi-weekly column about C.S. Lewis at Tor.com. You can connect with him at www.mikalatos.com.

Matt writes about a wide variety of Narnia-related content for Tor. Here is a link to his piece on Eustace and spiritual formation

Matt describes The Voyage of the Dawn Treader as a travelogue or spiritual pilgrimage novel. 

Books which influenced Lewis in this genre include”

The journeys of at Benedict

The Travels of Sir John Mandeville

Dante’s Paradiso


What is the deal with Eustace? Matt says that Lewis was saying that intense secularism is the main problem for Eustace--he doesn’t read the write books, believe in magic, or even know what a dragon is!

Matt mentions the Jewish ritual bath called Mikvah. For more information on that, go here

Matt mentions Mark Charles and his numerous books and talks on white supremacy. We are big fans of Mark Charles, go check him out!
