C.S. Lewis, “The Screwtape Letters”
T. S. Eliot “The Wasteland”

James Joyce’s “The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” would be excellent for this topic.

If you’re interested, Mark Twain was also fascinating and brilliant.

Before Twain, there weren’t American fiction writers who said, ‘Here’s the deal: I will create a scene and show you how this was wrong,’” Chadwick said.

“His message is, ‘Let’s all confront what we see.’ That’s what literature is supposed to be, to help students learn critical thinking,” Chadwick said.
