Audio Book Summary

The Picture of Dorian Gray is a philosophical novel by Oscar Wilde, first published complete in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine.[1] Fearing the story was indecent, the magazine's editor without Wilde's knowledge deleted roughly five hundred words before publication. Despite that censorship, The Picture of Dorian Gray offended the moral sensibilities of British book reviewers, some of whom said that Oscar Wilde merited prosecution for violating the laws guarding the public morality. In response, Wilde aggressively defended his novel and art in correspondence with the British press, although he personally made excisions of some of the most controversial material when revising and lengthening the story for book publication the following year.

    Gerry O'brien does a fantastic job narrating this book. What I appreciated most was his ability to bring the characters to life. Each character had a distinct voice and personality that made them feel like real people. The pacing was also spot-on, making it easy to follow along with the story and stay engaged throughout.
