I'm just Wilde about Oscar
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Stefan Rudnicki has done a wonderful job transforming Julian Mitchell's screenplay into a very satisfactory novel about the life of Oscar Wilde. The Samuelson produced movie was superb, and here the novel is able to add a different level of depth by interspersing quotes and pieces of poetry by Wilde throughout the story line.Granted, the story is not as complete as a full biography (Richard Ellman's is particularly thorough -- if somewhat dry) but it is told with such wit, humor and tragedy as to providing a most enchanting diversion. Highly Recommended, especially to those who are looking for good entertainment rather than mere scholarly facts and literary commentary.
