Full Description
Dorian Gray - decadent archetype and anti-hero of Oscar Wilde's only novel, a scandalous underground classic upon its publication in 1890. Gray is the debauched libertine who retains a veneer of eternal youth during decades of increasingly outlandish vice, depravity and corruption, while his portrait ages and rots in an attic. Presented in its original incarnation, THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GREY is overtly homoerotic with elements of drug abuse and supernatural horror. Wilde's most extreme creation is a classic of renegade literature.
