He's the Talk of the Town!

Huzzah for Philip Pullman (again)! The adaptation of Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy now playing at the National Theatre in London was given mention in The Talk of the Town of this week's New Yorker. (The paper copy of the magazine includes a charming line drawing of our author.)

The New Yorker says, "Pullman also has a following in the United States—his prose is more elegant and his plots are more sophisticated than Tolkien’s or J. K. Rowling’s." Amen.
