AGREED.

BUT WHEN YOU READ SOLZHENISTYN'S BOOKS OR KOLYMA TALES AFTER, YOU'D BE VERY QUICK TO CHANGE THAT SINGLE WORD

in fact, i meant Salambo instead of Salome. Both have crazy bitches in them and contain a good amount of cruelty and chopping off body parts...

Yes, I loved the poetic nature of the prose in it.

I have yet to check out Salome, and I have read quite a few of Wilde's plays, but my next thing to check out by him will be An Ideal Husband
