Mark commented on The uncensored picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
Gotten my way through the (extensive) introductions. Kinda wish I hadn't read them? Or at least hadn't read the "Textual Introduction" because I think it kinda assumes you've read the book before.
Also got through the first chapter or so. Definitely in line with the "book as philosophical screed" vibe I get from a lot of 19th-century lit, but the prose is gorgeous (though what else is to be expected from Oscar fuckin Wilde)
that said, if i never see the words "naught" or "descry" again, it'll be too soon
