Why it’s on the listWood’s satirical dialogues set in heaven, God and the saints arguing with Billy Sunday, Carrie Nation and the censors of the 1920s. Steinbeck remembers it in Travels with Charley as a book he loved young.

Where I heard about it

  • John Steinbeck — named in Travels with Charley; my note in the margin: “Charles Erskine Scott Wood’s Heavenly Discourse - look it up.”
Curated by Kyle Harrison. Organized by Claude. Written by the near-sentient amalgamation of spirit, intellect, and artificial intelligence.
