Fantasy Book Group

Fantasy Book Group with Ashli
Discusses Vita Nostra by Marina and Sergey Dyachenko, translated by Julia Meitov Hersey
Led by Greenlight Events Coordinator Ashli, the Fantasy Book Group meets monthly to explore the realm of fantasy storytelling, from cozy to romantasy, high to urban or contemporary, YA to anthologies, and more! Whether you're a lifelong fantasy lover or a burgeoning fan, we welcome you here.
In March, the group discusses the definitive English translation of Vita Nostra, an internationally acclaimed Russian novel by Marina and Sergey Dyachenko—brilliantly translated by Julia Meitov Hersey. A complex blend of magic, adventure, science, and philosophy that probes and considers the mysteries of existence—filtered through a distinct Russian sensibility—this astonishing work of speculative fiction is reminiscent of modern classics like Lev Grossman’s The Magicians, Max Barry’s Lexicon, and Katherine Arden’s The Bear and the Nightingale.
