A Quote from De Profundis, Oscar Wilde's Brilliant Essay
| Posted on June 4, 2012 at 6:00 AM |
Oscar Wilde will make an appearance in the print version of Cleansing Eden - The Celebrity Murders. This quote from De Profundis will precede the first chapter. It sums up the themes of the novel perfectly.
“It is tragic how few people ever 'possess their souls' before they die…Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation…[Christ] has far more pity for the rich, for the hard hedonists, for those who waste their freedom in becoming slaves to things.”
Flesh that out into a crime novel, and you have Cleansing Eden - The Celebrity Murders.
Read the rest of De Profundis here.
Until the print version hits, get the e-book of Cleansing Eden - The Celebrity Murders at Amazon.
