Pro: I liked the idea that he made money by republishing the “Gromoire of Goblins” and re-titling it “Practical Magic for Starship Protection.”
Con: It’s not really a story so much as an exploration of an idea. By the end, nothing has really happened.

Not really sure why the interviewer suggested that the grandson might be a throwback to grandfather. Sounded like grandfather ignored universes with advanced science, son wanted to expand magic where it was narrow, and grandson wanted to go further by introducing magic to completely scientific universes.
