What can I say? This is the first time that I have read this fascinating book. A book that speaks volumes about society, art, and conscience. For me, this book poignantly pointed out the moral aspect of art to a degree no other work has. It’s description of fin de siecle society draws dangerously close to our own even though we have passed the end of the century. The paradoxical, sometimes cynical witticisms of Lord Henry also intrigued me. The setting is both superficial and dark.
