I can see why Lewis never published "Prelude to Space." 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.
