Got a Light?

Gregory Maguire’s novel Wicked retold the story of the Wizard of Oz from the point of the view of the Wicked Witch of the West. Now for Christmas, Maquire is tackling Hans Christen Anderson’s downbeat story The Litttle Match Girl from the point of view of the match. OK, he’s not really making the match the protagonist, but how is he going to turn a story with a real bummer of an ending into holiday cheer? Find out tomorrow when Maguire reads his story on NPR’s All Things Considered. You can hear a preview here now.--David E
