Good! I love this show

[squirrels_oh_no]

I can't look at the magicians the same way after reading Vita Nostra because it's such a knockoff and lev Grossman has been trying to get vita nostra published in english since around the same time the Magicians came out.

I need to catch up on the show. I'm now several seasons behind.

Did Grossman read Vita Nostra in the original language? I don't see how he could've ripped it off otherwise, b/c afaik the first English fan-translation didn't come out until later. I read the fan translation that was posted on Amazon in 2012 or so. I thought he was more accused of trying to make a more adult-oriented Harry Potter?

I haven't read the books, but I thought people said the show sorta did its own thing?

[squirrels_oh_no]

I'm strictly referring to the books in this case, and if google and the NYT can be believed, it's inferred he can read russian and is a russian literature snob. And it's been around in other languages for more than a decade.

The other books have nothing to do with vita nostra. One takes place on another planet.

But if Grossman wants to make himself useful, he can buy a bunch of copies of the new Harper Voyager English version with his TV money and lobby for the rest of the books in the series to be translated, too. XD
