«Dorian» is the novel by Will Self published by Éditions de l'Olivier in paperback (320 pages, in French).
In 1980s London, the dandy Henry Wotton meets Dorian Gray, a very beautiful young man who poses for the video installation of his friend Basil Hallward. Dorian wishes that the image would age while he retains his youth. It is a rewriting of Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray myth that reflects London hedonism and the AIDS years.
This French edition translates the original novel «Dorian, An Imitation» (2002), by Will Self, selected for the Booker Prize.
Suitable for readers of classic rewritings and LGBT fiction set in the 1980s and 1990s.
