Five writers go on five reflective, restorative and often playful journeys in search of the final resting places of their literary heroes.
Today Lauren Elkin finds Oscar Wilde in Pere Lachaise, Paris - where the outsider in life overshadows in death the greats of French literature who jostle for space in the famous cemetery.
