    About this audiobook

    How far are you willing to go to secure your friend’s good opinion?

    Little Hans gives freely of all he possesses, in order that the miller will esteem him as a true friend. The miller even promises to give little Hans his wheelbarrow. Hans’ gratitude is never-ending, and he learns too late what it sometimes means to be a devoted friend.

    Oscar Wilde

    Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish poet and playwright who rose to global fame in the 1880s as a larger-than-life public persona with plays such as The Importance of Being Earnest, An Ideal Husband, and Lady Windermere's Fan. The author of countless brilliant epigrams that form part of our popular lexicon, he was sentenced to two years of hard labor in prison for having relations with men, which ruined his reputation and career. Upon his release he exiled himself in France, where he died penniless. Today Wilde is celebrated as a courageous crusader for free expression, gay love, and anyone oppressed by hypocritical conventions.

      With writing, so often the words don’t come. Mental quicksand is real and my house has never been cleaner. I think, in this case, it’s partly because of the privilege I feel to be here, speaking to you for the first time as the editor of a magazine I
