87 - The Magicians

from Thumbing Through Yesterday · host Tom Galli

The Magicians by Lev Grossman is Tony's pick this time, the first of a trilogy about some of the worst people you'll ever encounter. Brilliant, bitter, and brimming with magic, this book asks what happens when power isn’t given to heroes… but to real, damaged, deeply flawed humans. A tough read for Tom, this one made both hosts ask: What happens when you strip fantasy of its wonder and fill it with people you wouldn’t want to share an elevator with?TTYpodcast.comThumbingThroughYesterday.com
