Description
Praise For Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West…
— Philip Pullman
"Gregory gets the complications and uniqueness of women very well."
— Kristen Chenoweth
“At the heart of this remarkable, unforgettable novel is a wildly original premise-- one that only a writer with Gregory Maguire’s intellect and daring could have dreamed up: that the Wicked Witch of the West was a real woman, with an actual name, and her own story to tell. It was radical when Gregory first wrote it, and remains radical. It has the power to reshape one’s view of the world.”
— Winnie Holzman, co-writer of Wicked: The Musical
“Long before there was any thought of a musical, I read Wicked. I felt a quiet joy that sisterhood had made its way to the Yellow Brick Road. What happens when a witch, green or otherwise, gets to tell her own story instead of being vilified and misrepresented by dominant cultural authority? We witches know how that turns out!”
— Holly Near
“I knew that Gregory Maguire had come up with a genius idea the moment I heard about Wicked. It’s a book that has changed a lot of lives, including mine.”
— Stephen Schwartz, composer and lyricist of Wicked: The Musical
