Lev Grossman, author of The Bright Sword and the hit Magicians trilogy, international sensation and author of The Poppy War trilogy, Babel and Katabasis R.F. Kuang and Garth Nix, bestselling author of the Old Kingdom series, share their enthusiasm for the genre and its devoted readership.

Hear Lev, R.F. and Garth in conversation with Carody Culver.
