Description
Dorian Gray, a novel by Will Self, is a dark and twisted tale of love, desire, and decay. In 1981, aristocrat Henry Wooten and Warhol acolyte Baz Hallward meet Dorian Gray, a golden adonis with a seemingly unblemished life. As the story unfolds, Dorian embarks on a hedonistic binge that spans the '80s and '90s, while Baz and Henry succumb to their own vices. Despite his debauched lifestyle, Dorian remains remarkably untouched, leaving readers wondering how he manages to stay so vibrant and alive. Will Self's writing is both haunting and humorous, creating a sense of unease that lingers long after finishing the book. Dorian Gray is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, one that will appeal to fans of literary fiction and those who enjoy complex, psychological narratives.
