De profundis
J'ai adoré! C'est à la limite d'un petit essai bien que ce ne soit qu'une lettre (très longue lettre) que Wilde a écrit (clairement pour régelr ses comptes).
Super intéressant pour cerner l'oeuvre de Wilde et l'homme qu'il a été.

La Ballade de la geôle de Reading
Ça j'avoue c'était bien écrit et un poème sur l'expérience carcéral me tentait bien. Mais désolé j'ai pas de compassion pour un homme qui tue sa femme, donc je l'ai vraiment lu de loin quoi.

Je recommande vraiment ce petit livre qui est super enrichissant à lire!

(De profundis: 4.25 stars)
My thoughts about reading this were mostly: wow what an amazing prose this man has and also, who writes a letter with more than a 100 pages??? Im so sorry for the receiver of this letter haha.
But nonetheless, Loved the sassy comments and philosophical discussions in De profundis. It's fascinating everything Oscar Wilde writes, and i had also an amazing time psychoanalyzing every single action of his and of his most beloved "friend". The thing is I would've liked it more if he didn't repeat himself with some of the topics throughout the letter (i had to take long pauses through the pages).

(The ballad of reading gaol: 4.5 stars !!!!!!)
Amazing, show stopping, spectacular. Loved this ballad so much, the poetry on point and the quotes!!!! It was so interesting reading the portrayal of life in prison.

Alles wat ik te zeggen heb is 

'Love is a sacrament that should be taken kneeling, and Domine, non sum dignus should be one the lips and in the hearts of those who receive it. I wish you would sometimes think of that. You need it so much'
