The full story of Oscar Wilde’s two year imprisonment for “gross indecency”, from conviction to release. This is the first ever graphic novel about Oscar Wilde (2018). ‘The Season of Sorrow is a thing of terror as well as beauty—inspiring fear, pity, and anger at the unjust laws … that condemned Oscar, and continue to condemn rebels, outcasts, artists, and “undesirables” of all types.’ (Thomas Wright, author of Oscar’s Books, aka Built of Books).
