5.0 out of 5 stars
I'm just Wilde about Oscar,
By Edward Alexander Gerster "miamibooks" (South Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Wilde: A Novel by Stefan Rudnicki Inspired by the Screenplay by Julian Mitchell (Paperback)
Stefan Rudnicki has done a wonderful job transforming Julian Mitchell's screenplay into a very satisfactory novel about the life of Oscar Wilde. The Samuelson produced movie was superb, and here the novel is able to add a different level of depth by interspersing quotes and pieces of poetry by Wilde throughout the story line.Granted, the story is not as complete as a full biography (Richard Ellman's is particularly thorough -- if somewhat dry) but it is told with such wit, humor and tragedy as to providing a most enchanting diversion. Highly Recommended, especially to those who are looking for good entertainment rather than mere scholarly facts and literary commentary. |
