Vivek’s Notes
Wilde's apologia for his life and conduct, written in Reading jail, where he spent two years after being found guilty of "gross indecency": "I was a man who stood in symbolic relations to the art and culture of my age ... I became the spendthrift of my own genius, and to waste an eternal youth gave me a curious joy."
