Lev Grossman's new novel The Bright Sword is the story of a motley group of oddball knights—and one sorceress—who are trying to rebuild Camelot in the wake of King Arthur's death. Rebecca Yarros has called it "utterly enchanting," and George R.R. Martin says: "If you love King Arthur as much as I do, you’ll love Lev Grossman’s The Bright Sword." Grossman is also the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Magicians trilogy—The Magicians, The Magician King, and The Magician’s Land—which was adapted as a TV show that ran for five seasons on Syfy. He has written two novels for children: The Silver Arrow, which was on the best-of-the-year lists of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, People, Apple and Amazon, and its sequel The Golden Swift. He wrote the screenplay for the movie The Map of Tiny Perfect Things, which was a finalist for the Critic’s Choice awards. He' also a journalist: from 2002 to 2016 he worked at Time magazine, where he wrote 20 cover stories, and he’s written essays and articles for, among others, Vanity Fair, the Believer, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and Wired. Lev grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, the son of two English professors. His twin brother Austin is a writer and game designer, and his older sister Sheba is an artist. He lives in Brooklyn, New York but spends a lot of time in Sydney, Australia, too, where his wife is from. He has three children and a somehow steadily increasing number of cats.

A Quote by Lev Grossman

 A magician is strong because he feels pain. He feels the difference between what the world is and what he would make of it. Or what did you think that stuff in your chest was? A magician is strong because he hurts more than others. His wound is his strength.

Featured Article: The top 100 fantasy listens of all time


When compiling our list of the best fantasy listening out there, we immediately came up against the age-old question: Is this fantasy or science fiction? The distinction is not as clear as you may think. Dragons, elves, and wizards are definitely fantasy, but what about wizards that also fly space ships? (Looking at you, Star Wars.) For the sake of fantasy purity, the top 100 fantasy listens include the best audio works in all manner of fantasy subgenres.
