Oscar Wilde: His Life and Confessions

Story0
Consumers of biography are familiar with the division between memoirs of the living or recently dead written by those who "knew" the subject more or less intimately, and the more objective or scholarly accounts produced by later generations. In the case of Wilde, as presented to us by Frank Harris, we are in a way doubly estranged from the subject. We meet with Oscar the charismatic talker, whose tone of voice can never be reproduced – even if a more scrupulous biographer had set down his words accurately – and we are perhaps already aware of him as Wilde the self-destructive celebrity who...

Inspired by the life of legendary jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, Mauricio Segura’s Oscar evokes periods across time, from the Depression-era Montreal neighbourhood of Little Burgundy to the swinging cabarets of the 1950s, while offering a reflection on the bonds between an artist and the Caribbean diaspora from which he comes. But above all, Oscar is a poignant homage to a musical giant, a man who changed the face of jazz forever.

A delightful blend of humor, satire, and the supernatural, the story follows the Otis family, a modern and pragmatic American household, who move into Canterville Chase, an old English mansion rumored to be haunted by the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville. Unlike the typical terrified residents of haunted houses, the Otis family is unfazed by the ghost’s attempts to frighten them. Instead, they treat his antics with practical solutions—offering oil to fix his rattling chains and ignoring his eerie moans. The ghost,...
