Dedicated to the memory of Krafft-Ebing, whom Prime-Stevenson had met and been encouraged by (see Gifford, "Introduction" 25), The Intersexes serves as a kind of guidebook--a layman's sexological Pilgrim's Progress--for homosexuality (for particularly Bunyanesque passages, see The Intersexes 5, 122).

The obvious exceptions to Lewis's antipathy towards allegory include his self-consciously Bunyanesque first novel, The Pilgrim's Regress (1933)--which bears the unambiguous subtitle "An Allegorical Apology for Christianity, Reason, and Romanticism"--and also The Great Divorce (1945), a somewhat more novelistic work that nevertheless belongs to the ancient genre of the dream vision, itself the major locus of allegorical narrative in the Middle Ages (Boethius's Consolatio, Alain de Lille's De planctu naturae, the Roman de la Rose, Dante's Commedia, Piers Plowman).

Montville's subject is John Montague, an enormously skilled--and enigmatic--golfer whose Bunyanesque exploits at Hollywood's Lakeside Golf Club in the 1930s became the stuff of legend.

As they were 83-5 only a few overs before, you can deduce there was a collapse of Bunyanesque scale, as a massively fired up Asim Khan bowled a marathon 18-over spell in the almost tropical heat.
