This book recommendation is on Wilde in America by David M. Friedman. From the cover: “David M. Friedman’s lively and often hilarious narrative whisks us across nineteenth-century America, from the mansions of Gilded Age Manhattan to roller-skating rinks in Indiana…But, as Friedman shows, Wilde was no mere clown; he was a strategist….Wilde in America is an enchanting tale of travel and transformation, comedy and capitalism - an unforgettable story that teaches us about our present as well as our past.”
