Philip Pullman
Philip Pullman is the author of the His Dark Materials trilogy and a longstanding critic of C. S. Lewis’s Narnia books; he writes fiction that treats growing up, sexuality, and moral knowledge as goods rather than a fall from grace, and distances his critique of organised religion from the dogmatism he associates with the New Atheists.
