This was a nice little palate cleanser in the middle of a depressing read. I loved the profiles of Madame Du Deffand, Nabakov and Djuna Barnes but I thought the way that Marias treated Wilde was not delicate enough.
Overall enjoyable read, Marias’ profile writing is amazing, especially the way he focuses on a particular theme and makes convincing connections between instances which give the profiles a great flow.
