Comments:
Oz Abridged transforms the classic book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz through the art of blackout poetry. This is Oz as you’ve never seen it: haunting, raw, and unforgettable. Each page leads the reader through an arc of internal transformation. The characters' desires for brains, heart, courage, and home become metaphors for existential longing. Through erasure, a world that’s been sanitized by pop culture is laid bare. The heroes and villains of Oz are stripped to their insecurities and most intimate truths. Oz Abridged is not just a retelling, but a reverent excavation of the prose embedded within the original text.
