Summary

Over 120 years after Oscar Wilde submitted The Picture of Dorian Gray for publication, the uncensored version of his novel appears here for the first time in audio. This volume restores material, including instances of graphic homosexual content, removed by the novel's first editor, who feared it would be "offensive" to Victorians.

A shorter and slightly different Dorian Gray

This is slightly different from the book-length Dorian Gray we're familiar with, though no less charming -- I mean Wilde's writing, not the character.
The narrator's accent simply doesn't cut.
