Rent Oz Reimagined: New Tales from the Emerald City and Beyond

Synopsis

When L. Frank Baum introduced Dorothy and friends to the American public in 1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz became an instant, bestselling hit. Today the whimsical tale remains a cultural phenomenon that continues to spawn wildly popular books, movies, and musicals. Now, editors John Joseph Adams and Douglas Cohen have brought together leading fantasy writers such as Orson Scott Card and Jane Yolen to create the ultimate anthology for Oz fans. Stories include: * Tad Williams’s futuristic “The Boy Detective of Oz,” in which Orlando investigates the corrupt Oz simulation of the Otherland network. * Dorothy and friends plotting to escape a mental hospital in Robin Wasserman’s unsettling “One Flew Over the Rainbow.” * An adventurous girl, drawn to China’s revolutionary protests of 1919, discovering another dimension in Ken Liu’s fanciful “The Veiled Shanghai.”
