Gregory Maguire

1954, United States — present

Gregory Maguire is best known for Wicked, a reinterpretation of The Wizard of Oz that reimagines the story from the Wicked Witch's perspective. His books have been challenged for sexual content and complex moral themes. Maguire uses fantasy as a framework for ethical inquiry, inviting readers to reconsider "good" and "evil" as fluid, perspective-dependent concepts rather than fixed truths.
