(2) YA The author blurs the line between supernatural occurrences and mental illness in this retelling of "The Fisher King." When Cal stumbles into a sumptuous castle helmed by an ailing king, he worries that he's developing his mother's schizophrenia. Arthurian England shares space with a depressingly industrial modern setting; the author handily exploits the Fisher King's motifs of sacrifice, self-discovery, and healing.
