Har läst De Profundis. Har sett The Happy Prince. Har läst olika OW-biografier genom åren. Detta verk är baserat på protokoll från de två rättegångarna. Vi såg pjäsen på Greenwich Theatre (på min födelsedag!). Köpte manuset (och whisky) i pausen och läste på Caffè Nero dagen därpå för fördjupad upplevelse och förståelse.
Här konfronteras Wilde angående en dikt han sänt till Bosie brevledes:
- '.... Ever your own Oscar'.
- Is that an extraordinary letter?
- I think everything I write is extraordinary. Yes, I don't pose as being ordinary - good heavens!

This is an incredible book; it is a complete record of the actual transcripts from the libel trial that led subsequently to Wilde's conviction, edited and noted by his own grandson!!! Well worth a read if you're an Oscar Wilde fan, particularly to see his almost self-destructive fall from grace.
The only reason I would ever consider becoming a lawyer
From BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Drama:
Oscar Wilde's courtroom battle with the Marquess of Queensbury. Wilde naturally assumes that he can take on the man who invented the rules of boxing and win. Based on the book "Irish Peacock and Scarlet Marquess" by Merlin Holland (Oscar's grandson).
