Book Club: Wicked by Gregory Maguire

​Gregory Maguire’s Wicked isn’t just a reimagining of Oz—it’s a sharp political allegory about otherness, power, and who gets to define “good” and “evil.” First published in 1995, this modern classic flips the tale we think we know, tracing Elphaba’s journey from misunderstood child to “Wicked Witch,” and exposing the machinery behind fear, control, and public opinion.

​Set against a surveilled, authoritarian Oz, Wicked blends friendship, identity, and the seductive simplicity of a single narrative—raised in a world where propaganda rules and truth is unstable. Sound familiar?

​We’ll gather at Quick Eternity—warm lighting, intimate tables, classic New York charm—to unpack Maguire’s layered prose and the political parallels that feel especially urgent now.
