Lev Grossman is Time magazine's book critic as well as one of its lead technology writers. The New York Times says he's “among this country's smartest and most reliable critics.”He published his first novel, Warp, in 1997. His second novel, Codex, came out in 2004 and became an international bestseller.
His new novel is The Magicians.
For The Week magazine, Grossman named the "six greatest fantasy books of all time."
One book to make the grade:
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis (HarperCollins, $7).Read about the other five books on Grossman's list.
A shoo-in. Whether you’re young or old, Christian or whatever, Lewis’ tale of children crossing from one world to another—and discovering their power there—is pure Turkish Delight: The more you read, the more you want.
Read an excerpt from The Magicians, and learn more about the book and author at Lev Grossman's website and The Magicians website.
