In Oscar Wilde from Purgatory, Hester Dowden, known by her pen name Hester Travers Smith, takes listeners on a fascinating journey into the realm of the afterlife. As an Irish spiritualist medium, she claimed to have communicated with the spirits of various notable figures. Through her Ouija board sessions and automatic writing, she captures the essence of her conversations with the legendary poet and playwright, Oscar Wilde. His spirit is just as vibrant and witty as he was in life, sharing insights about existing without a physical form and offering candid critiques, including a memorable dismissal of James Joyces Ulysses as a great bulk of filth. For those eager to dive straight into the intriguing dialogues, the focus is on Chapter 1 and the Appendices, leaving Travers Smiths extensive commentary for later. - Summary by Rob MarlandCopyright Religious Texts and Commentary Spiritualité
