Editorial Reviews
Review
"Displays the insight, honesty, and unself-conscious style of a great writer."
--W. H. Auden --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Book Description
While jailed for homosexual offenses, Wilde wrote this long, bitter letter of recrimination to his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. It offers fascinating insights into Wilde’s life in prison and the background and psychology of a notorious affair, but its eloquence, passion and literary excellence make it a universal statement about love, injustice and suffering.
