The Magician - audio book - Sol Stein
"Gardner's expert narration is a great match for this novel straightforward and,
fitting this novel, a bit acerbic. His pacing is excellent, and emotional colorings fit the prose perfectly.
"This deserves to be widely heard." KLIATT
"The Magician is one of those rare books that, once you read it, you will never forget. Gardner's voice and style fit the teenaged navet and bravado that inhabit the book's main characaters, and he paces the story beautifully, particularly the climactic courtroom scenes. " AudioFile
The Magician is the now famous story of two sixteen-year-old antagonists locked in the crucible of their high school which neither can escape.
Ed Japhet gives a skillful performance of magic at the school prom. After the prom, Ed and his girlfriend are beset by Urek, the leader of a school gang that extracts extortion money by "renting" kids their own lockers.
Ed is the only student who refuses to pay extortion money. Urek's fury at Japhet's defiance results in an attempted murder, a criminal trial, and death, with a shocker of an ending.
The book, selected by the Book-of-the-Month Club, sold over a million copies, was widely taught in American schools, and has been published all over the world, in Britain, France, Germany, and as far away as Russia and Japan.
