Work

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West is a novel by Gregory Maguire that offers a revisionist take on L. Frank Baum's classic Oz stories. The book centers on Elphaba, a green-skinned, intelligent, and misunderstood woman who grows up to become the so-called Wicked Witch. Through her story, the narrative examines the nature of evil, the manipulation of public perception, and the complexities of morality in a fantastical yet politically charged world. The novel is known for its dark, adult-oriented themes and served as the basis for the popular Broadway musical of the same name. more
