Oscar Wilde

André Gide, A Towering Figure In French Letters, Draws Upon His Friendship With Oscar Wilde To Sketch A Compelling Portrait Of The Tragic, Doomed Author, Both Celebrated And Shunned In His Time. Rather Than Compile A Complete Biography, Gide Invites Us To Discover Wilde As He Did - From Their First Meeting In 1891 To Their Final Parting Just Two Years Before Wilde’S Death - All Told Through Gide’S Sensitive, Incomparable Prose. Using His Notes, Recollections, And Conversations, Gide Illuminates Wilde As A Man Whose True Art Was Not Writing, But Living.
