For the Fandom of Fantasy Maps

This is an essay about a lifelong love affair with maps. I could have written it; so could my husband have, and any of several of my friends for that matter. We who are fans of maps just generally can be inordinately fond of fantasy maps, for what can possibly be better to a cartophile than a map of a place that doesn't exist?

For your reading pleasure this week, check out Lev Grossman's intimately written defense of our need for fantasy maps, courtesy of LitHub.
