Poking around the web today, I found an essay by author R. J. Anderson (the author of Faery Rebels; maybe you've read about that somewhere recently?) regarding Susan from the Chronicles of Narnia books. A lot of people have complained about how she seems banished from Narnia at the end of the series and several people have tried to correct that. I remember being profoundly disturbed by Neil Gaiman's attempt at correcting the problem.
But I think Anderson hits the nail on the head as to what the issue really is and who is ultimately responsible for Susan's exclusion. Why not take a gander for yourself?

I liked Anderson's essay, too.
My favorite essay so far on the topic, though, is Lipstick on My Scholar.

He's good.
