LEV GROSSMAN |
First published to high praise and widespread attention a year ago, Lev Grossman's totally captivating novel, The Magicians (newly in paper, Plume), a coming-of-age story like almost no other yet with roots in some older, familiar ground. There is a land called Fillory, there is a high-school senior named Quentin, and there are adventures that unfold. "The Magicians is to Harry Potter as a shot of Irish whiskey is to a glass of weak tea. Solidly rooted in the traditions of both fantasy and mainstream literary fiction, the novel tips its hat to Oz and Narnia as well as Harry, but don't mistake this for a children's book. Grossman's sensibilities are thoroughly adult, his narrative dark and dangerous and full of twists." - George R.R. Martin. "Stirring, complex, adventurous ... from the life of Quentin Coldwater, his slacker Park Slope Harry Potter, Lev Grossman delivers a superb coming-of-age fantasy." - Junot Díaz. Lev Grossman is also the author of Codex, and a senior writer and book editor at Time.
