Interesting read. Although not so sure that the Life of Oscar Wilde was such a Secret. Well researched and reasonably well written (certainly not a page turner). A little salacious, at times (if only other biographies would refer to their subject's "cock-sucking").

One of the best Wilde biographies Ive read and as a Wilde obsessive Ive read a few. A great writing style and an obvious passion for everything Wilde lacking in so many Biographers.
