'The Chronicles of Narnia' faces flak from legendary author

Alan Moore is the author of many hit books, including Watchmen, The Batman: The Killing Joke, V for Vendetta, etc. However, in his new novel, he takes aim at The Chronicles of Narnia.

During an interview with The Irish Times, the noted writer explains his fury toward the hit fable story while discussing his The Great When: A Long London Novel, which was how the characters adapted to the surroundings of the fantasy world they would end up in.

“I wanted the sections set in The Great When to feel as disorienting as it would do if you were suddenly in another world. One of the things I’m really tired of in current fantasy is how the kids go through the back of the wardrobe in Narnia and it’s not really a big deal," the 71-year-old adds.

He continues, “People go into these worlds as if it was visiting Milton Keynes. No! You’d be booking yourself into psychiatric care! You’d have a complete mental breakdown!
