A review by nrossi23
The Picture of Dorian Gray and Other Writings by Oscar Wilde

4.0

great story! i never knew where this was going at any given point, and wilde’s prose is astoundingly modern. it felt like i was reading a book only slightly older than mainstream bestsellers, which is remarkable for a book from the 19th century. wilde’s verbiage in particular is really something to note here, descriptions aren’t overly flowery, but there’s a real intention of craft behind all of them that give you concrete images without overburdening the page.
