I'm nearly finished the Wilde bio; he's in jail right now. It's so sad. I think the worst part is that his actions didn't in any way lead to any sort of law reform. In some ways you can't help drawing parallels to the Jacko situation, except of course Wilde had a bunch of rent boys testifying against him. And he went to jail for two years. Not that I think twelve-year-old boys should be legal of course, but the way Wilde was savaged had more to do with his attitude than his private affairs. "When the Artist missteps, the Public foams at the mouth for blood."
more things I keep wanting to buy:
