Lev Grossman’s latest novel The Magicians centers on a brilliant, magic-obsessed teenager who discovers that the fantasy world of his favorite books is real. The novel hit The New York Times bestseller list last week, and The Washington Post and others have called it a smart and engrossing fairy tale for grown-ups. Grossman, a Time magazine technology writer, author of two other novels, and recent Zócalo guest, dropped by the Zócalo offices to read from his new work.
