Summary: Our next Great Question leads us on a romp through some old CenterForLit favorites. We’re asking, “What is friendship?” And we look at some of the best friendships in literature, adding a couple of contemporary examples along the way, in pursuit of identifying what C.S. Lewis meant when he said friendship “has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.” Join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/333790777396633 Referenced Works: – “On Friendship” in The Prophet by Khalil Gibran – The Office (2005-2013), NBC – The Professor and the Madman (2019), directed by Farhad Safinia – The Professor and the Madman by Simon Winchester – The Wind and the Willows by Kenneth Grahame – The Chosen by Chaim Potok – The Sandlot (1993), directed by David Mickey Evans – The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S.
