Pullman lives with his wife and two cockapoos in Oxfordshire he spoke with The New Yorker over the phone on a recent afternoon. The trilogy’s second book, “ The Secret Commonwealth,” will be published in October and an adaptation of His Dark Materials, starring James McAvoy, Ruth Wilson, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and the newcomer Dafne Keen, will appear on HBO the following month. In 2017, he returned to Lyra’s world with “ La Belle Sauvage,” the first in a planned trilogy called The Book of Dust, named for the mysterious particle linked to consciousness that lie at the heart of His Dark Materials.
Before becoming a writer, he taught middle school.

Pullman, a lover of William Blake, is famously, ardently atheist. That book introduced one of the most memorable child heroines in English literature: Lyra Belacqua, a scruffy and imperious ward of Oxford’s Jordan College, who is left mostly to her own devices until she is thrust into the complicated business of saving the world from the Magisterium, a shadowy church that wants to do away with original sin.

Compilations and Short Story Collections are listed at the bottom.“Paradise Lost” might not seem like a promising conceit for a young-adult fantasy novel in which people have animal-shaped souls called dæmons and the fate of the universe rests on the wiles of a preteen ragamuffin and the strength of an armored bear. In no other listing are the books numbered.
