The Wizard of Oz
by Salman Rushdie
Review this book!
In a long essay that originally appeared in The New Yorker, Salman Rushdie writes about one of his favorite films, the classic MGM WIZARD OF OZ. His book is not only a very personal appreciation of the film but a fascinating chronicle of its creation and an elucidation of its major themes (good and evil, order and chaos, color and drabness). The book also includes a Rushdie short story, "At the Auction of the Ruby Slippers."
