Charlie Rose's Monday, July 5, 2010 conversation with with Lev Grossman

CHARLIE ROSE: Joining me now to talk about summer books is Lev Grossman, author and book critic for "Time" magazine. I’m pleased to have him at this table to introduce us to what you might be reading this summer. So welcome.

LEV GROSSMAN: Thank you.

CHARLIE ROSE: Where do we start? What do you think will be the big commercial success this summer that we’ll see everybody reading on the beach?

LEV GROSSMAN: Well, I believe and also kind of hope that it will be Justin Cronin’s "The Passage." Justin Cronin is probably not a writer who you are intimately familiar with. He is what call is called these days a midlist literary writer who a couple years ago had an inspiration for a horrific vampire apocalypse novel, and he wrote it.
