Once upon a time there lived a Golden Age gay icon, who whiled away her pre-waxing years sitting
atop a split-rail fence in some dour, nondescript American Midwest landscape. Her dreams of a
more outrageously fierce existence in the big city (wearing roller skates and one-foot-diameter afro

in between lines of blow) were hemmed in on all sides by rusted farm equipment, NAPA Auto Parts
Stores, and a lone, dejected Applebee’s out on the turnpike. Kansas didn’t even have a
meth lab yet. Or a Sally Beauty Supply. Her nascent fabulousness was imprisoned by voluminous
swaths of gingham, satin ribbons, and fussy lace collars -- none of them, unfortunately, worn
ironically, with a lollipop or a pacifier or Harajuku-style -- at the behest of Aunt Em, a woman whose
character is explained by the shocking fact that the better part of her non-church wardrobe was
purchased at Quality Farm & Fleet. (I know.
)
This girl, as yet scarcely old enough to have a couple of cherries or a leaping dolphin tattooed near
her cameltoe, was named Dorothy. One day, like so many dreamy-eyed girls, she donned her
Skechers and her discount department store jeans and waited for a meteorological disaster to
rescue her from her sad, glitterless rural life.
As luck would have it, one day, an especially violent cyclone (rated EF4 by the local weather
service) carved a bloody path of destruction, misery, and death through central Kansas, carrying
Dorothy’s trailer (with her and her dog Toto inside, watching
) high into the troposphere. At first, Dorothy mistook the rhythmic vibrations for a circuit party and
looked under the bed for her whistle, but soon enough she realized she was airborne. And it felt
She thought she even spotted a cross-country Virgin America flight with Diana Ross sitting in first
class refusing a skunky glass of Chardonnay and calling the stewardess an uppity white bitch.
(She’ll have Dershowitz on the phone when she gets to LAX.) But maybe Dorothy was
unconscious and imagining it all. At any rate, she was immune to the ghastly, soul-rending shrieks,
rising from below, of a Kansas mother cradling her dead baby who was impaled by a windswept awl
in the cyclone. She was busy listening to “Yahoo!― by Erasure on her iPod.
Eventually, after floating around earth’s gaseous atmosphere for a couple of hours, dreaming of
Barney’s Co-op Sale, Dorothy landed in some unknown land, flat-ironed her hair, and
repositioned her training thong. Outside her trailer a bunch of ghetto midgets were milling around
with some old witchy broad. No, it wasn’t that überfem Glinda – like in the movie – it was
some tired-ass old mannish thing, looking like

This might be common knowledge or it might not be. Some economics textbooks claim this is a

economics can't be fun.
Redistributions of wealth caused by unexpected changes in the price level are often a source of
political turmoil. From 1880 to 1896 the price level in the United States fell 23 percent. This deflation
was good for Haves (creditors - primarily the bankers of the Northeast), but it was bad for Have-Nots
(debtors - primarily the farmers of the South and West). The deflation was blamed almost
exclusively on the now notorious Gold Standard and a proposed move towards Silver was instead
the craved for alternative.
The Silver issue dominated the presidential election of 1896. William McKinley, the Republican
nominee, campaigned on a platform of preserving the gold standard.
William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic nominee, ranged boldly against Gold and for Silver. In a
famous speech, Bryan proclaimed, “You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown
of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.’’
Not surprisingly, McKinley was the candidate of the conservative eastern establishment, whereas
Bryan was the candidate of the southern and western populists.
Then came The Wizard of Oz.
The midwestern journalist, L. Frank Baum tells the story of Dorothy, a girl lost in a strange land far
from her home in Kansas. Dorothy (representing traditional American values) makes three friends: a
scarecrow (the farmer), a tin woodman (the industrial worker), and a lion whose roar exceeds his
might (William Jennings Bryan). Together, the four of them make their way along a perilous yellow
brick road (the gold standard), hoping to find the Wizard who will help Dorothy return home.
Eventually they arrive in Oz (Washington), where everyone sees the world through green glasses
(money). The Wizard (William McKinley) tries to be all things to all people but turns out to be a fraud.

I really, really liked this book! I honestly had pretty low expectations going into this book and thought
it wouldn't compare at all to the greatness of the 1939 movie (which is one of my favorite movies),
but I was wrong. It was one of the best children's classics that I've ever read and I even loved how it
wasn't that similar to the movie, so it kept me interested. I also had a beautiful hardcover Puffin
Classics edition, so that make the experience even better! All in all,

This is a book I read as a child, even before I saw the musical, and enjoyed a lot. However, my
memory of it was overshadowed by the film. So it was a good experience to read it again as an
adult.
The book is worth reading, not least because it differs in some major ways from the film adaptation.
The biggest difference is that the whole dream sequence scenario, in which people from Kansas are
transmogrified into figures of fantasy, is entirely absent. Dorothy wears Silver Shoes, not Ruby
Slippers

memory of it was overshadowed by the film. So it was a good experience to read it again as an

The book is worth reading, not least because it differs in some major ways from the film adaptation.
The biggest difference is that the whole dream sequence scenario, in which people from Kansas are
transmogrified into figures of fantasy, is entirely absent. Dorothy wears Silver Shoes, not Ruby
Slippers. And so on and so forth.
Baum says in the preface that he has tried to offer a modernized fairy tale: "[...] for the time has
come for a series of newer "wonder tales" in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are
eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incidents devised by their authors to
point a fearsome moral to each tale. Modern education includes morality; therefore the modern child
seeks only entertainment in its wonder tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident."
[Baum, L. Frank (Lyman Frank) (2012-05-16). The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (p. 4). Kindle Edition.]
While it's true that the story does not "point a moral," (at least not obviously), it fails at sanitizing
away the "horrible and blood-curdling incidents." For example, the Winged Monkeys maul Dorothy's
companions badly at one point. The Woodman tells a horrific back-story not included in the film, in
which he undergoes unheard-of torture at the hands of the Wicked Witch of the East. The Lion faces
some gruesome opponents, one of which is rather Tolkienesque in its monstrosity.
But there are charming episodes, comic touches and witty turns of phrase which give this children's
classic an old-fashioned appeal, in spite of what Baum says about being modern.
