Decadent modern twist on Wilde's classic tale.

If you're intrigued by a contemporary rendition of Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray," then Will Self's "Dorian" could be a thrilling read for you. It takes the original's themes of vanity and moral corruption and plants them firmly in the era of AIDS and excess, resulting in a story that's both darkly humorous and disturbing. This novel won't just entertain; it will provoke thought about the nature of beauty and self-indulgence.

Description

Will Self's Dorian is a "shameless imitation" of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray that reimagines the novel in the milieu of London's early-80s art scene, which for liberated homosexuals were a golden era of sex, drugs and decadence before the AIDS epidemic struck later in the decade. It is "an age in which appearances matter more and more and more. Only the shallowest of people won't judge by them."
