It's awful, just >awful! The fragment of the second one is much better and the title is >funny: "An Expostulation Against Too Many Writers of Science Fiction." >Hmmm. I hadn't known that he identified himself at all as a SF writer. He certainly did to some extent--somewhere or other there's a "conversation" published in which Lewis and some other people (Brian Aldiss is the only one I remember) sit around talking about science-fiction, and Lewis seems to identify himself fairly comfortably as someone who has written inside SF. It's a fairly amusing interview--Aldiss and Lewis' constant requests for another drink or cigar particularly. "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
