Book Review: Louis Sachar's debut adult novel is a zany adventure of science and magic
Anatole isn't just any magician. He's the magician of Tiger Castle, whom the king of Esquaveta once declared to be the greatest magician in all the land. Book Review: Louis Sachar's debut adult novel is a zany adventure of science and magic "The Magician of Tiger Castle' is Anatole's chance to set the record straight. Not about his greatness — he fully accepts the title the king bestowed on him — but about what really happened in 1523 with the princess of Esquaveta, the apprentice scribe she fell in love with, the prince she was betrothed to, and the prisoner who was kept in the dungeon for 100 years. It's the debut adult novel from Louis Sachar, author of the Newbery Medal-winning middle-grade novel, 'Holes,' and the 'Wayside School' series of memorably wacky vignettes. 'The Magician of Tiger Castle,' out Tuesday from Ace Hardcover, is every bit as creative and endearing as Sachar's dozens of children's and young adult books that enamoured kids and teachers alike for decades. The novel is told like a memoir, first-person from the magician himself. Only, he's never been a true magician; we quickly see that he's more of a misunderstood pioneer of medicine and modern science. Calling attention to the thin, hazy line between science and magic, Anatole also dips into miniature medical history lessons. So, while you're following the story of this bald magician, hypersmart scribe and headstrong princess, you're also learning about why old-timey physicians wore beaked masks or how leeches are still sometimes used in medicine today. Though it's classified as an adult novel, 'The Magician of Tiger Castle' is fairly clean, with only one or two curse words, a handful of innuendoes and some light violence, but nothing explicit. You can read the surface-level story and have a great time, but Sachar also brings literary elements to the modern fantasy-adventure table. Chess games reveal the protagonists' strengths while mirroring their evolving relationships, as well as their increasingly complicated schemes. 'The Magician' is self-aware and fourth-wall breaking, stepping outside the narrative to explain a word choice or cultural context for the fictional kingdom set somewhere near modern France. The plot is like a zany Dungeons & Dragons campaign played with friends; the storyline is meandering but with a definite aim and purpose, and the characters are lovably boisterous . It's funny, surprising, smart and weird, and fully lives up to the high bar you'd expect from a great like Sachar. book reviews: /hub/book-reviews This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Kempegowda International Airport unveils Rhythm of BLR
Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) has unveiled its signature sonic identity — Rhythm of BLR. Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), operator of the airport, said that this unique musical expression has been developed in collaboration with sonic branding experts BrandMusiq. 'This unique musical expression is a central part of the Feels Like BLR campaign envisioned to transform the airport from a transit point into a space that truly connects with people. Music has the power to create deep emotional connections and instant recognition. Rhythm of BLR is designed to evoke a sense of warmth, familiarity, and emotional resonance — capturing the joy of new beginnings, the comfort of homecomings, and the spirit of Bengaluru itself,' BIAL said. It said that the BLR Airport Anthem is composed by Grammy Award-winning artist Ricky Kej and Rhythm of BLR is a multisensory narrative that blends tradition with global influences. 'Drawing from Carnatic sounds like the mandolin and mridangam, and harmonised with Western acoustic and electric guitars, piano, and a vibrant sing-along chorus, the identity becomes a rich jugalbandi of heritage and modernity,' it said. BAIL managing director and CEO Hari Marar said: 'Every journey begins and ends with emotions. At KIA, we've always believed that travel should connect not just places, but people, feelings, and memories. Rhythm of BLR is an extension of that belief — a sonic expression of Bengaluru's spirit that welcomes you, comforts you, and stays with you long after you've left the airport. For us, this isn't just a sound, rather a part of our identity, a reminder that you're home, or on your way to something special.'
