aimiller 's review for:

Saint Oscar by Terry Eagleton
5.0
challenging emotional sad tense fast-paced

Just gorgeous--a deeply powerful exploration of the contradictions of Oscar Wilde. Eagleton's dialogue HITS, and I think the court scene in particular was powerful, and seeing it live would be wild (in a good, emotional way.) There's also SO MUCH to dig into here--I feel like I would benefit from reading it about 8 times over, in addition to seeing it live. Just a really powerful piece.
