Join Dawn and her guest, painter and designer Clarione Gutierrez-Owens, as they HILF the literary legend who despite his famous quote - had so much more to declare than his genius.
Dawn's guest, Clarione, is an artist who has been something of a secret admirer of Oscar Wilde since his days visiting the OW Bar in NYC. Together he and Dawn start with Wilde's birth and follow his story through the extraordinary peaks and valleys of his remarkable life.
