O Retrato de Dorian Gray by Margarida Vale de Gato, Oscar Wilde

aubreymccabe's review against another edition

5.0

This book was shocking, petrifying, and carried weight beyond theme of vanity. Reading this was like the prophecy of womanhood ricocheting back at me

(It was a 220 page homoerotic friendship)
