The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde Discussion at TBD

You're invited to our next Classic Book Club Dinner! This month, we'll be diving into The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde—a gothic tale that’s as seductive as it is unsettling. Join us for great food, rich conversation, and a story that explores beauty, desire, and the dark side of influence.

Wilde’s only novel follows the handsome and mysterious Dorian Gray, a young man who sells his soul to remain forever youthful. As he spirals deeper into a life of indulgence and vanity, the portrait hidden in his attic bears the weight of his true self. Beneath the elegant language lies a sharp exploration of identity, morality, and hidden longing—leaving much to unpack in terms of human nature and relationships.

Whether this is your first read or a return to an old favorite, this discussion promises to spark conversation about beauty standards, emotional control, and how we’re shaped by the people we let in. Come ready to share your thoughts, ask bold questions, and enjoy the company of curious minds.
