Dorian - Will Self’s brilliant ’imitation’ of Oscar Wilde’s original tainted love story ’Brutal savage infinitely readable’ Observer’Chilling hysterical tasteless and haunting. A Gothic thriller complementing and enriching its original’ Independent on SundayIn the summer of 1981 aristocratic drug-addicted Henry Wooten and Warhol-acolyte Baz Hallward meet Dorian Gray. Dorian is a golden adonis - perfect pure and (so far) deliciously uncorrupted. The subject of Baz’s video installation Cathode Narcissus and the object of Henry’s attentions Dorian is launched on a hedonistic binge that spans the ’80s and ’90s. But as Baz and Henry succumb to the disease du jour how is it that Dorian despite all his sexual and narcotic debauchery remains so unsullied - so vibrantly alive?’A book that filled its first reviewers with 'the odour of moral and spiritual putrefaction' just got smellier darker and funnier’ ObserverDorian will be adored by fans of Will Self and Martin Amis and is an essential read for those who enjoyed The Picture of Dorian Gray.Will Self is the author of nine novels including Cock and Bull; My Idea of Fun; Great Apes; How the Dead Live; Dorian an Imitation; The Book of Dave; The Butt; Walking to Hollywood and Umbrella which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. He has written five collections of shorter fiction and three novellas: The Quantity Theory of Insanity; Grey Area; License to Hug; The Sweet Smell of Psychosis; Design Faults in the Volvo 760 Turbo; Tough Tough Toys for Tough Tough Boys; Dr. Mukti and Other Tales of Woe and Liver: A Fictional Organ with a Surface Anatomy of Four Lobes. Self has also compiled a number of nonfiction works including The Undivided Self: Selected Stories; Junk Mail; Perfidious Man; Sore Sites; Feeding Frenzy; Psychogeography; Psycho Too and The Unbearable Lightness of Being a Prawn Cracker.
