	Gregory Maguire and the Novel Wicked
		Gregory Maguire, (he holds a Ph.D. in English and Literature) was born in Albany, New York in 1954.
		Maguire has no memory of the period he spent at an orphanage, yet the theme of abandonment and orphanhood has worked its way into several of his books, including "Wicked." He suggests that subconsciously, he must have always been curious about the life of abandoned and lost children.
		Maguire is sharp and has a dark artistic sensibility, acknowledging, as he says, "We live in dark times." He doesn't shrink from tough topics.

	Gregory Maguire's "Mirror, Mirror"
		Gregory Maguire started his literary life as an author of children's books.
		Long before Maguire made that transition other writers explored the universality of well-loved fairy tales, and the psychological significance of the themes in children's literature that seem to survive and in fact thrive: the wicked stepmother and abandoned children, the bad wolf, the consequences of a lack of self-control.
		But Maguire has really carved out his own niche as a novelist who not only finds universal and quite adult themes in familiar children's tales, but also shifts the perspective to one quite unexpected.

		But she also falls in love along the way and this, combined with her need to always think deeply, forces her (and us) to become acutely aware of the moral ambiguities inherent in the Land of Oz.
		And what a land it is that Gregory Maguire's prose paints for us: talking animals, secret police, ticktoc automata (and their philosophical consequence "ticktocism"), the possibility of congress between worlds, and (without by any means exhausting the list), Dorothy.

		In Maguire's Oz, Elphaba, better known as the Wicked Witch of the West, is not wicked; nor is she a formally schooled witch.
		She embodies all of the heroic qualities, and this could never be considered "evil" by any but the most obtuse.

	Wicked -- book review
		Kirkus Reviews said "Save a place on the shelf between Alice and The Hobbit -- that spot is well-deserved." Wicked does earn a spot on the shelves of classic fantasy, but so does it earn a niche alongside the best modern literary fiction.
		Maguire has created a truly great -- and flawed -- heroine in a novel that is a psychological analysis on one of the most "evil" characters of the twentieth century.
		I made this book my in-store staff recommendation twice when I was a bookseller, in hardcover and paperback, and my evident love for Wicked caused nearly half our store staff to read it for themselves.
