As reported in the New York Times:
Two authors who write for grown-ups but retain that
kid-under-the-covers-with-a-flashlight feel are reading at
Pacific
Standard in Park Slope tonight. Lev
Grossman’s best-seller “The
Magicians,” follows a bunch of fantasy-obsessed
youth as they graduate into urban hipsterhood. Like a
“Harry Potter” for adults, it’s chock-full

Tinti’s debut novel “The Good
Thief”, about a 19th-century grave-robbing
orphan, is “darkly transporting,” writes
Janet Maslin, “an American Dickensian tale with
touches of Harry Potterish whimsy, along with a macabre
streak of spooky New England history.” B.Y.O.
