The novel, of course, and the plays are classics, but I found the letters to be a juicy narrative all their own. The twists and turns of his doomed affair with Lord Alfred Douglas, affectionately called "Bosie" in touching - and bitter - love notes from prison, are here to peruse. Reading them, you get a sense of Wilde's personal feelings at the time of his famed trial and arrest for sodomy, his anguish at losing Bosie and going to jail. It's fascinating, juicy stuff - made all the more touching by the fact that it all occurred without shame, in plain view, over 100 years ago.
Wilde's a great character, a great author, a good role model for gay life and a hysterical wit. And this book is a must.

This could have just been a coffee-table book with beautiful photos but a negligible text. Fortunately, someone had the excellent idea of asking Ethan Mordden to write the text.
The result is that a very informative, insightful, well-written text accompanies the beautiful photos.
If you love Rodgers and Hammerstein, you probably will get great pleasure from this book.
One tiny quibble, though: Mordden is wrong when he says that Hammerstein invented the lyric form used in "I Am Going to Like It Here."
