I was going through some of my late partner Jim's things today and ran into this 1977 program from Vincent Price playing Oscar Wilde in Diversions and Delights. Wilde was a brilliant writer of plays and of novels in the 1880s and 90s. He was brought down by his love of a man and jailed. Price plays Wilde speaking after his release from jail. Wilde died within a few years after his release. You can google the Price/Wilde performance and listen to it on line.

Okay, one of my favourite anecdotes about late-19th century Scandinavian literature

Now get off tumblr and write! I find it helps to write by hand on paper, then I can’t erase everything or start to edit midway through a paragraph
