1. • • In “The Magician,” Toibin seeks to grasp the entirety of Mann’s life and times, the way a biographer might, and he does so quite neatly. Maximalist in scope but intimate in feeling, “The Magician” never feels dutiful. Like its subject, it’s somber, yet it’s also prickly and strange, sometimes all at once.

   Is the magician a good book?

   • The Magician is not vivid and evocative at the level of the sentence, or the scene, but does weave a spell and convey a sense of history, the conflict between attachments and impermanence, and a lifelong experience of alienation and estrangement.Despite my critique, I did admire the book and have enjoyed seeing the author read from it.

   What is the story of the magician about?

   • The Magician is an intimate, astonishingly complex portrait of Mann, his magnificent and complex wife Katia, and the times in which they lived—the first world war, the rise of Hitler, World War II, the Cold War, and exile. This is a man and a family fiercely engaged by the world, profoundly flawed, and unforgettable.
