The Sewers of Paris: A Writer's Job (Ep 456 - Wicked/Gregory Maguire)

There’s a new trailer out for the upcoming Wicked movie, so I thought it was a good time to dive into the Sewers of Paris podcast archives to revisit my chat with Gregory Maguire, author of the Wicked novel, among many other works. Though I’m sure you’re familiar with his book and the musical adaptation, you may not know the extent to which Gregory’s childhood was infused with elements of fairytale — from the fantasy novels he devoured, to the family tragedy that led to his time in an orphanage.

(PS: As you can hopefully see, I'm trying a new thing where I put a picture of the guest in the post here on Patreon. Let me know if that looks ok or breaks anything on your end, or if you have any feedback!)
