...Malaysian tin ore through your fingers. You can eat walleyed pike from Minnesota and see a chef from India baking bread in mud pots. In the calm oasis of the Irish pavilion, you can drink coffee primed with Irish whisky and listen on earphones to actors like Micheal MacLiammoir and Siobhan McKenna reading Yeats, Swift or Synge. In the Indonesian pavilion, you can look over the Indonesian girls that were personally selected by President Sukarno.

In the second half, which begins with Wilde's imprisonment, Mac Liammoir portrays the reviled man, the repentant sinner, the reproaches in De Profundis to his fellow sinner Lord Alfred Douglas, and the last salvation-seeking...
