Synopsis

This haunting, wildly original novel explores the lives of several characters entwined by The Wizard of Oz—both the novel written by L. Frank Baum and the strangely resonant 1939 film. WAS traverses the American landscape to reveal how the human imagination transcends the bleakest circumstance.
