Con un lenguaje desenfadado y mordaz, Wilde propone que la labor del crítico es más meritoria que la del artista y aprovecha para escandalizar a la sociedad de su época con provocaciones y epigramas. Establece que la diferencia entre periodismo y literatura radica en que "el periodismo es ilegible y la literatura no se lee"; afirma que el público inglés "se siente mucho más a gusto cuando le habla un mediocre", y defiende los libros de memorias porque están escritos por personas que "han perdido por completo la memoria o nunca han hecho nada digno de ser recordado".

Un texto brutal y necesario, que cuenta lo que casi nadie quiere oír y reflexiona sobre los riesgos, la ética y la necesidad del oficio de periodista. Hay tres cadáveres con nombre y vida en Los muertos y el periodista. Hay más, pero tres son esenciales. Tres hermanos salvadoreños pobres cuyos cuerpos aparecieron desfigurados (como poco) en un cañaveral. Este libro cuenta su historia. ¿Los tres hermanos han muerto realmente en un enfrentamiento entre pandilleros rivales? ¿A quién se protege no investigando las pruebas?

On 18th February 1895, the Marquess of Queensberry left a visiting card at the Albemarle Club on which he had written: "To Oscar Wilde posing as a sodomite."

Una oda a la importancia de los trabajos artesanos en el siglo XXI, una celebración del mar, un emotivo relato sobre la relación padre-hija. Cómo construir una barca es la historia de un hombre moderno y sin ninguna habilidad destacable que, inspirado por su amor al mar y todo lo que éste le ha enseñado, se propone construir una barca de madera según los métodos tradicionales como regalo para su hija recién nacida. Es una tarea ridículamente quijotesca para un hombre que, con una familia y una hipoteca, no sabe absolutamente nada sobre trabajar la madera.
