Suave soothsayer and best-selling Pronoia author Rob Brezsny enraptured us with the good news of how to get ahead in the universe, and of what we might hope to become. Legendary fantasist Peter Beagle, best known for The Last Unicorn, held us spellbound with an epic tale of a magician like no other we can recall. Judy Budnitz delivered another kind of magic, with a compelling story of sex and love and sisterhood. Charlie Anders amazed us with perhaps the most action-packed fantasy story of all time. Sona Avakian read the story of a conjurer and a prostitute and how magic entered their lives.
