Summary

"A passionate attempt to fix what is essential in Oscar Wilde, fraud and martyr." - Adam Mars-JonesSitting up reading late at night, the author reflects on the links between the homosexual of the 1980s and his counterparts of a century ago, between gay lives today and those of Oscar Wilde, his friends, lovers and acquaintances. Many books have been written about Oscar Wilde. Who Ws That Man? is unique - the acting out of a love-hate relationship between Wilde and a gay Londoner of today."Neil Bartlett has grabbed history by the collar and made bitter love to it. I can think of no other way to describe this fantastic personal meditation on Oscar Wilde and the last hundred years of English homosexuality. At teh very moment gay existence is endangered by disease and a renewed puritanism, Bartlett has embraced what was alien and criminal or merely clinical and loved it into poignant life." - Edmund White
