LA TIMES FESTIVAL OF BOOKS PANEL — Modern Magic and Gothic Secrets: A Feminist Exploration in Contemporary Fantasy

Ronald Tutor Campus Center

Any book, no matter the genre, is a little magical universe unto itself, but these fantasy novels are truly love letters to the power of reading and a testament to how real that fictional magic can actually feel to the reader. In these enchanting stories, we watch a brilliant con artist and a secretive librarian collide; we travel a magical version of Los Angeles with a student searching for the truth about a supposed urban legend; and we delve straight into the world of beloved novels with a certified Book Witch who has been tasked with defending works of fiction from all foes, real and imagined.
