Henry Wotton, gay, drug addicted, and husband of Batface, the irrefutably aristocratic daughter of the Duke of This or That, is at the center of a clique dedicated to dissolution. His friend Baz Hallward, an artist, has discovered a young man who is the very epitome of male beauty - Dorian Gray. His installation Cathode Narcissus captures all of Dorian's allure, and, perhaps, something else. Certainly, after a night of debauchery that climaxes in a veritable conga line of buggery, Wotton and Hallward are caught in the hideous web of a retrovirus that becomes synonymous with the decade. Sixteen years later the Royal Broodmare, as Wotton has dubbed her, lies dying in a Parisian underpass. But what of Wotton and Hallward? How have they fared as stocks soar and T-cell counts plummet? And what of Dorian? How is it that he remains so youthful while all around him shrivel and die? Set against the AIDS epidemic of the eighties and nineties, Will Self's Dorian is a shameless reworking of our most significant myth of shamelessness, brilliantly evoking the decade in which it was fine to stare into the abyss, so long as you were wearing two pairs of Ray-Bans.

这已经不是一个能让我兴奋的故事了，所以你能这样那样又怎么样呢，看了五分之一实在是觉得没办法和平共处。人生也不是所有时候都能心安理得地挥霍痛苦，我就像Basil一样，我是个想谋出路的懦弱老实人

邪魅的道连沉沦在大半本的druggery and buggery里。Will Self的遣词造句太刺激，估计老王看了也得挑眉。我看了，只得焦头烂额查字典……终于到最后一章，却被狠狠耍了一下，又一下。狼狈地爬起来，回看每件事都出现了可疑的重影。你赢了Will。
