When the beautiful and impressionable Dorian Gray sees his portrait painted, he wishes he could remain forever young while the image bears the marks of age and sin. Under the influence of the hedonistic Lord Henry, Dorian plunges into a life of indulgence and moral corruption, each act leaving its trace on the hidden portrait. Wilde’s only novel is a gothic masterpiece of beauty, vanity, and the cost of living without conscience—infused with the sharp wit and subversive undertones of one of literature’s most iconic queer voices.
~ Included for its enduring queer subtext and its place as a cornerstone of LGBTQ+ literary heritage. A darkly elegant classic that continues to fascinate with its beauty and moral tension. ~
