The Screwtape Letters

This piece was published separately much later, in 1959. It is essentially an epilogue to the novel. It is a speech given by Screwtape at a devils’ banquet in honor of the young devils graduating from the Tempters’ Training College. Screwtape discusses the tastiness of the damned souls on which the devils are dining. He laments how there are fewer and fewer really delicious sinners like Hitler to devour. He does, however, relish the wine that has been made from the souls of religious fanatics such as those labeled Pharisees in the Bible.
