Today’s episode is a live show from Housing Works Bookstore Cafe featuring Lev Grossman (author of The Magicians), Haley Tanner (Vaclav and Lena), Harrison Greenbaum (Comedy Central’s Comics to Watch), and Adam Conover (Best Week Ever). We all got together to talk about the authors’ books. One novel features two childhood friends discovering the joy of live performance and illusion, the other features a group of teenagers from Brooklyn discovering a secret magical world where they learn actual sorcery! Which is nerdier? Find out!
