This was a delight. I always forget how much I love Oscar Wilde's writing until I am immersed in it again. This is the kind of stuff that I would have loved reading for school. A brilliant example of self-fulfilling prophecy and we all love a fallacy.

This is with disclaimer that I know Oscar Wilde never meant all these stories to be read altogether.

Lord Arthur Savile's Crime was pretty interesting, my favourite short story by Oscar Wilde so far. The Canterville Ghost is ofcourse a delight to read, but the others were pretty boring, not something I enjoyed.

There is something to be said about short stories, about how they are harder to write, to tie up and it is harder to convince the audience. But in this tiny novella Wilde employs a mildly unlikeable character and drags him into an amusing narrative, that keeps the reader attending. Brief enough to maintain a character like that, but long enough to have sufficient events and a punchy ending, Lord Arthur Savile's Crime is an enjoyable little 50 min commute read.
