Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1900, Oscar Wilde is living in exile in Paris. Impoverished, in failing health, and abandoned by all but a few friends, he reflects on his once-brilliant career and on the infamous trial and imprisonment for "acts of gross indecency" that shattered his life. A stunning tour de force, this poignant and clever novel--daringly written by Ackroyd in the form of a journal that Wilde might have kept during the last months of his life--presents a wonderfully entertaining and touching portrait of the life of one Britain's most famous literary figures." -- Back cover
