An imagined life for Oscar Wilde
John Boyne builds a fictional alternative to Oscar Wilde’s biography, asking how the playwright and poet’s life might have unfolded without imprisonment and exile from England or an early death. The premise turns on the contrast between the historical hardships named in the description and the life Wilde might have led in their absence. Positioned as biographical and autofictional fiction, the book uses a real literary figure as the basis for an imagined life, rather than presenting itself as a factual account.
