Myth & Magic

Lev Grossman (The Bright Sword), Charlie Jane Anders (Lessons in Magic and Disaster), John Morrissey (Bird Deity), Cameron Sullivan (The Red Winter).
Chair: Kathleen Jennings
2–3pm, Sunday 11 October, Underground Theatre

These four mesmerising masterworks of fantasy and speculative fiction traverse continents and cultures to weave powerful stories of identity, faith and belonging. From the clash of paganism and Christianity in Arthurian England to the legendary man-eating beast of eighteenth-century France, from the cosmic horror of a colonised planet to the transformative magic of a young witch, these tales wield imagination and invention to unveil eternal truths about humanity.
