Citing the author only shows there’s another point of view anyway. Once a book’s been written, it’s out of the author’s hands. (J.K. Rowling, take note. Please!) I don’t really want to hear it and I don’t think it matters. As I said way upthread when I first quoted the Pratchett, surely no one thinks that starting the Narnia books with The Magician’s Nephew is a good idea, no matter what C.S. Lewis said.
