Also, I was just reading a new book on Wilde which said that after conversations with Esterhazy? that Carlos Blacker dropped a vital clue to Wilde who told Zola, altho apparently it's still murky what actually happened (and Google tells me scholars have been going on about this new wrinkle since at least 2010). I had totally forgotten Wilde arrived in Paris right as Zola's trial was raging.
