A laugh riot! A satire on the Victorian Era. I particularly loved Algernon Moncrieff and his idiosyncratic nature, devouring muffins and Bunburying around.
It is also tragic in a way as immediately after this Oscar Wilde was imprisoned for being homosexual. I am planning to watch its stage and film adaptations.

Ho adorato questa commedia ! Solo Wilde poteva giocare con tanta maestria sugli equivoci, e in questo mi ricorda Shakespeare, sui doppi sensi e con sottile ironia smascherare tutte le ipocrisie della società vittoriana. Divertente, geniale, irriverente da leggere tutta d'un fiato!

It’s kind of dumb, but it’s genius dumb. Also pretty short (just over 50 pages).
