i am. losing it. actively. WHAT THE FUCK

good book. v good prose. lord henry‘s opinions made me want to punch him in the face. incredibly gay subtext. the occasional completely unchallenged sexism & use of antisemetic stereotypes were bothersome. chapter 11 was pure torture. really funny at times & frequent slander of the british. absolutely iconic ending.
