Lev Grossman
A magician is strong because he feels the pain between what the world is and what he would make of it.
Lev Grossman
I feel that's one of the central questions of fantasy. What did we lose when we entered the 20th and 21st century, and how can we mourn what we lost, and what can we replace it with? We're still asking those questions in an urgent way.
Lev Grossman
I mean, when you're tired of book reviews, you're tired of life.
