About the Author

Thomas Wright was educated at Saint Thomas More RC School, Bedford, and Magdalen College, Oxford. His groundbreaking Oscar’s Books (Chatto & Windus, 2008), a portrait of his hero Oscar Wilde though his reading, was hailed by Craig Brown as ‘an original and eccentric landmark in the art of literary biography’. His play, Death in Genoa, was recently produced in London and broadcast on website of The Independent. He lives in Oxford.
