Description

After Oscar: The Legacy of a Scandal is the new book about Oscar Wilde, written by author Merlin Holland, who is Oscar’s only grandson and the last living relative of the writer. In a symbolic gesture, last week, Merlin collected Oscar’s British Library pass, which was revoked in 1895 when Wilde was convicted for being gay. Merlin joins Anton to discuss.
