En "El crimen de Lord Arthur Saville" se nos revela el Wilde en estado puro, el observador más irónico y despiadado de una sociedad decadente y egoísta. Una historia excepcionalmente elaborada que, con un estilo exquisito, indaga en los profundos recovecos de la culpa y el deseo, obsesiones recurrentes en toda la obra del genial escritor dublinés.
