From Michiko Kakutani’s 2000 review of “Oscar Wilde: A Certain Genius,” by Barbara Belford:
“Would you like to know the great drama of my life?” Oscar Wilde once asked. “It’s that I’ve put my genius into my life; I've put only my talent into my works.” On the centenary of his death (on Nov. 30, 1900), Wilde is still less famous for works like “Dorian Gray” and “The Importance of Being Earnest” than for his sparkling conversation, his tumultuous love affair with Lord Alfred Douglas and the scandalous trials for sexual offenses that led to a two-year jail term and exile from Britain.
