Louis Bayard is a longtime favorite at The Ivy, shared by customers and staff alike (you may have picked up a copy of Jackie and Me on Shirley’s excellent recommendation…)! We’re over the moon now to welcome him for this event in celebration of his new novel based on the life of Oscar Wilde’s wife Constance and two sons. The Wildes: A Novel in Five Acts takes readers on the emotional journey of this family, moving from the Italian countryside, where Constance Wilde flees from the aftermath of Oscar’s imprisonment for homosexuality, to the trenches of World War I and an underground bar in London’s Soho, where Oscar’s sons Cyril and Vyvyan must both grapple with their father’s legacy. And in a brilliant feat of the imagination, act 5 reunites the entire cast in a surprising, poignant, and tremendously satisfying tableau. The inimitable mystery writer Sujata Massey will join Louis Bayard in conversation for what promises to be a singular conversation. We hope you will join us! |
