Javier de Isusi · Astiberri · 2020
The Divine Comedy by Oscar Wilde you have to read it because it has won the National Comic Award 2020, Of course, and for the character he masterfully portrays, for his cinematographic shots, through interspersed interviews with those who knew him well, for its rhythm, for the great variety of narrative resources with which Javier de Isusi tells us about Oscar Wilde's last days in the mud in France at the end of the 19th century. He just got out of jail, who has visited by sodomite, Many of his friends have turned their backs on him and he spends his last days freeloading and drowning in alcohol like the good-living aesthete that he is., having lost the writer's drive and under another name, Sebastian Melmoth's. This is the story, but Isusi represents it to us like Wilde, as if it were a great theatrical production in which there is always drama present. Life imitates art and not the other way around, What would the Irish say?. This comic depicts Wilde as a great conversationalist, a first-class speaker who masters the language like no one else, and showman that becomes the soul of any party due to its humor, his fine irony and the range of great quotes that he always has ready. “The only interesting thing about people is the mask,” says Wilde in the comic, “not the reality that is hidden behind it.”. And that's how he lived his life, feeding the character who played his life like in a play. AU
