Oscar Wilde in America it's much more than a serie of aesthetic conferences.
Beside the lecture tour, there is the emerging of a great writer along with the construction of the first "counter culture celebrity", to quote Joy Shanon.
Too often squeezed in formal biographies, this period is a field that should be more carefully read about. Because, in his very essence, Oscar Wilde was fully there. The lights and glimpses of the show that remain are worth being fully explored. And enjoyed.
To step back in time and follow Oscar Wilde in his american footsteps, there is a specialised website
with a blog and a facebook to go with.
I praise their resources and dedication.
Pour en savoir enfin plus sur la tournée de conférences américaines d'Oscar, qui est toujours réduite à minima dans les biographies ( il faut croire que tirer à vue sur Lord Alfred Douglas est plus amusant que d'évoquer la rencontre de Wilde avec les vrais cowboys, mais je m'égare),
il existe un site tout spécialement dédié à la période américaine de la saga wildienne :
Un travail formidable et une mine de ressources à consulter.
