You did still get rich people in big cars and autocabs using the route, which was why the metro authorities would put some effort into clearing it, but it was not really a vital thoroughfare in the New York Metro of twenty sixty-two. It was one of the primary routes out to the eastern end of Long Island, but the area was well served by the HT-line there was far more road traffic to and from the northern side of the island. ![]() It was going to be a day or so before the road was clear enough for normal traffic, not that it saw huge amounts of normal traffic on most days anyway.

But in many ways Wilde’s only novel is the ultimate Victorian moral fable, about the dangers of living a selfish life driven by the pursuit of ‘new sensations’ above all else. Wilde’s famous preface to this – his one novel, published in book form in 1891 after being serialised the year before – states that ‘there is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book’. ![]() ![]() His literary career, which began in 1921, was virtually over by 1929, due to Soviet censorship. He was, at various times, severely wounded, struck by typhus, addicted to morphine, and subject to mental breakdowns.
