No
Diverse cast of characters:
No

Yes
A classic. A good book, that I didn't especially enjoy reading.
The plot, the literary devices and the writing style are all masterfully done. Here we have a book that aims to convey "Art for Art's sake", a book that talks to us about this indulgence in life through the sensations.
However, it was a somewhat slow book, boring at times, with all the ideologies and philosophical remarks from Lord Henry.
