SOLVED: Non-Fiction > SOLVED. Biography. Couldn't stand seeing his own play for fear of the audience reaction and instead goes down the street to a popular competing writer's play. I think he might have seen a play by Oscar Wilde.

This is Henry James.

"The failure of Guy Domville shattered his dreams of making a fortune in the theater. On opening night, he was much too terrified to wait for reports in a nearby pub and decided to see another play, Oscar Wilde's Ideal Husband."

Moving to Solved.

From Henry James: Selected Letters.
