Readers – Books and Conversation with Lev Grossman
Thursday 28 August | 8:00pm | Petersham Bowling Club

Join us for Readers – Books and Conversation, a monthly series celebrating books and readers through in-depth yet relaxed discussions with authors about their work, writing process, and the ideas that inspire them. Hosted by renowned interviewer and curator Michaela Kalowski.

This August, we’re thrilled to welcome Lev Grossman, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Magicians trilogy, to discuss his bold and triumphant reimagining of the King Arthur legend: The Bright Sword.

Named a Book of the Year by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Time, Vulture, Esquire, Elle, NPR, Goodreads, and more, The Bright Sword is a breathtaking fantasy epic for a new era. Called “this year’s must-read novel” by Forbes and praised by authors from George R. R. Martin to Rebecca Yarros, it’s a work that “resoundingly earns its place among the best of Arthurian tales” (New York Times).

Set in the aftermath of King Arthur’s death, The Bright Sword follows gifted young knight Collum, who arrives at Camelot too late. With Arthur gone, only a ragtag handful of knights remain—outsiders like Sir Palomides, Sir Dagonet, and Merlin’s former apprentice, Nimue. As the old gods stir and Morgan le Fay returns, these unlikely heroes must reclaim Excalibur, unravel the mystery of Arthur’s fall, and try to restore a kingdom in ruins.

Lev Grossman—novelist, Time book critic, and author of Codex and The Magicians trilogy—brings a dazzling mix of wit, wonder, and emotional depth to this vivid tale of honour, myth, and magic.

Don’t miss what promises to be an unforgettable evening of stories, legends, and conversation.
