Beschreibung
The first major biography of Oscar Wilde in thirty years is the most complete telling of his life and times to date. Its great achievement is to take on board his great flurry of contradictions: celebratory yet self-pitying, indifferent to his wife's agonies yet kind to total strangers, broken by prison yet still capable of day-to-day merriment. Vivid and page-turning, it is also desperately moving.
