Reviews

Well, very interesting!


(4 stars)

Mr. Rob Marland is an excellent reader of this story- so detailed a picture of Wilde that I can’t leave it with that uncomplicated admiration I began it with. He was unkind to sick and ugly people, which includes some with illustrious literary names-which is pretty humorous if you ask me, then at times he was so generous! And then it made me queasy that he described his homosexuality-always skirting the physicality of it-as the love between an older man and a much younger man. Well I’m positive that in daily life our knowledge of others is almost never so detailed. Thanks to Rob Marland.
