The Magician is a novel by one brilliant writer about another. Toibin captures the profound personal conflict of a very public writing life, and through this life creates an intimate portrait of the twentieth century.

The Magician is a portrait of Thomas Mann and the times in which he lived. The book traces Mann’s life from his childhood through his opposition to the Nazis and finally his exile. The New York Times writes that the book’s “expansive and subtle rhythms carry the reader forward and backward in time, tracing an epic story of exile and literary grandeur, unpacking a major author’s psyche in such a way that the life of the imagination becomes, finally, the real and only tale worth telling.”
