This imaginative novel explores what might have happened if Oscar Wilde had lived a longer life, writing more plays, campaigning for gay rights, and crossing paths with figures including Winston Churchill and W.B. Yeats.</p><p>Funny, witty, and epic, it’s a book Ryan describes as magnificent and highly recommends.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow the show:</p><p>Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/bookshelfpodcast/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@bookshelfpodcast</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@bookshelfpodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@bookshelfpodcast</a></p><p><br></p><p>Follow Ryan:</p><p>Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/instatubridy\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@instatubridy</a></p>","author_name":"Ryan Tubridy "}
