For me, Oscar Wilde is the greatest author and playwright to have ever lived. Unlike other writers, his metaphor is perfect and not cliche, he has really memorable lines and the endings are always bittersweet- never happy or sad, but somewhere in between. Just read his complete works, his short stories are beautiful.

I don't enjoy his fiction very much, I agree with most of him when it comes to the nature of art though.

Nabokov was right, Wilde's great while your young. Like him less and less as I get older tbh

Wilde's great if you like boipussi like he did. If you don't then he's just ok.

Wilde gets ground underfoot by Chesterton, who was a better writer and poet and playwright than him, on top of the relentless critique.

I think his wit is something that dazzles you more when you're younger, but his works that don't feature it much (e.g. his fairy tales) I like more as I get older.

You're going to have to qualify that statement, or else it will be dismissed as yells from the peanut gallery.

I am implying that you are a negro.
