5.0

Simply a blast to read. Kaufman's adaption of the Wilde trials brings life to Wilde's timeline for those who were not there (obviously). The narrative is witty and fast paced at first, then spirals down to a deeper emotional understanding of the situation. Kaufman makes you experience Wilde's magnetic appeal in a way that's almost hypnotic just before stripping him down to his basics at the very end of his prime.
