Reviews

The Last Days of Oscar Wilde is a treasure of a novel. With elegant prose and a glittering wit of which Wilde himself would approve, John Vanderslice brings to life this agent provocateur's final act. The Last Days masterfully merges insight and imagination with the historical and literary record to provide a portrait that is rich and nuanced and utterly compelling.-- Rachel HallJohn Vanderslice evocatively conveys the misery and waste of Wilde's final days, laying bare the consequences of his betrayal by those whom he loved and trusted. The Last Days of Oscar Wilde is a grim reminder of the destructive power of senseless persecution.-- Jennifer SteilSchedule
