Review Summary: What a razor-sharp wit this man possessed
Review: Oscar Wilde was a man before his time, and a genius that burned out too young. He died at the age of 44, but he has written some of the best literature that we are privileged to possess. "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" is one of my favourite stories, so I thought I should read his short stories too. Well, his genius is apparent in these stories too. Some of his stories seem to be social commentaries that he uses like sword to poke fun at what is sacred in his society, but they are truly funny as well. He explores all forms of love, hate, greed and goodness in these stories. My own particular favourite was "The Canterville Ghost". Wilde's interpretation of American savoir faire is hilariously funny. His fairy tales are truly beautiful, and each one has a special message to impart. I heartily recommend reading these stories. Wilde is unsurpassable.
