Asking Barry Zito About C.S. Lewis
At the Giants Media day, I ran into Barry Zito as he was wrapping up an interview. He had C.S. Lewis’ “The Problem of Pain” sitting on his bar table.
Eno Sarris: I’m really interested in what people read on the road. That’s… not Narnia! [laughing]
Barry Zito: No. [Not laughing, but maybe smiling] No it’s not. This is my third one, but I haven’t done Narnia yet.
Sarris: What drew you to C.S. Lewis’ work?
Zito: I don’t know. I just enjoyed [unintelligible, sounds likes Breckinge], you know?
Sarris: Yeah. Who are your favorite writers?
Zito: Ummm. I have a ton. He’s my guy right now, yeah.
This has been “Asking Barry Zito About C.S. Lewis.”
With a phone full of pictures of pitchers' fingers, strange beers, and his two toddler sons, Eno Sarris can be found at the ballpark or a brewery most days. Read him here, writing about the A's or Giants at The Athletic, or about beer at October. Follow him on Twitter @enosarris if you can handle the sandwiches and inanity.
At least it wasn’t Perelandra.
