| Abstract | You need an apple, you need a mirror, you need a dwarf," [GREGORY MAGUIRE] says earnestly as he sits in the lobby of a Manhattan hotel discussing the origins of his new novel, "Mirror Mirror" (HarperCollins, $24.95). "If you have an apple, a mirror and a dwarf in any story, there are going to be overtones of 'Snow White.'" A soft-spoken, bearded man with black wire-framed glasses, the Boston- based author is taking an hour from a busy New York visit - preparing, in part, for the Broadway opening this weekend of a musical based on his 1995 novel "Wicked" - to chat about "Mirror Mirror." An incantatory fantasy about 16thcentury Italy and the infamous [Lucrezia Borgia] family, "Mirror Mirror" reconnoiters landscapes far removed from the "Snow White" most of us know - no color-saturated Disney landscapes here, no tiny men with names like Grumpy heigh- hoing off to work. But Maguire shrewdly points out that, by writing in a thematically loaded apple, mirror and dwarf - or eight dwarfs, to be exact - he has given fairy tale associations to his chronicle of paternal love, corrupt aristocrats and Renaissance-era skullduggery. |
