Wicked
Gregory Maguire, 1995
The Wicked Witch of the West gets a childhood, a family, a cause and a conscience. Oz retold from the other side, thick with politics, desire and moral fog.
Gregory Maguire
Maguire had published children's books before Wicked, his first novel for adults. It was the 2003 Broadway musical, not the novel, that turned it into a phenomenon.
Feels like unease, power and curiosity.
What it costs to be the last person in the room still disagreeing.
The truth isn’t a thing of fact, or reason. It’s simply what everyone agrees on. Books by Gregory Maguire
