Somewhere on the Yellow Brick Road…
Dark fantasy, political satire, a retelling of a famous fairy tale, a philosophical parable… Yes, all of this is about Wicked: Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire.
All of us who read about the Wizard of Oz as children only knew Dorothy’s version. Yes, she defeated the Wicked Witch. But who is this witch? Why did she become wicked? Where does evil come from in the first place?
Gregory Maguire creates an incredibly vivid and detailed fantasy world that turns all our ideas about the fairy tale upside down. Animals here not only talk but also demand respect and equal rights, the Tin Woodman becomes a victim of domestic violence, and the little green-skinned girl Elphaba grows up to be a wicked witch—extremely intelligent, yet underestimated. But even here, water won’t lead her to good…
Warning! The book contains descriptions of sexual scenes and drug use.
