			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tongue planted  firmly in cheek, <a class="zem_slink" title="Lev Grossman" rel="homepage" href="http://www.levgrossman.com/">Lev Grossman</a> offers this <a href="http://levgrossman.com/news.html" target="_blank">enlightening explanation for bad reviews</a> of The Magicians:</p>
<blockquote><p>Sometimes people point out to me that although <a class="zem_slink" title="The Magicians: A Novel" rel="amazon" href="http://www.amazon.com/Magicians-Novel-Lev-Grossman/dp/0670020559%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dkevinholtsber-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0670020559">The Magicians</a> gets some good reviews, it also gets its share of hate as well, and what&#8217;s up with that? I&#8217;ve looked into this, and I think I&#8217;ve figured it out. See, sometimes demons ascend from a lower realm to this one, possess a human and devour him or her from within, like some hideous larval parasite, leaving behind a hollow, ambulatory man-rind in that person&#8217;s place, a humanoid mockery of all that is good and true. Those demons then head straight for a keyboard and review The Magicians online. And some of those demons have really crap taste in books. So I hope that clears that up.</p></blockquote>
