Re: The fashionable substitute for belief
Oscar Wilde wrote some really beautiful stories. I dare bet there are many people who love the stories and haven't a clue about the life of the man who wrote them in spite of films, biographies and a West End musical. The depths of ignorance in the general public never ceases to amaze me. There are people out there who actually confuse him with George Bernard Shaw!
Just a thought off on a tangent here - if a murderer wrote a wonderful children's story would the fact of his crime diminish the quality of the tale?
