Let’s Get Wilde! (With The Picture of Dorian Gray)

With all the aesthetically pleasing descriptions of gardens and butterflies in its open chapters, Oscar Wilde’s “The Picture of Dorian Gray” seemed like a great novel to kick off spring. This book is bound to lead to great conversations about the nature of art and personal character.

Also—and most importantly—Wilde has no shortage of pithy witticisms for us to throw around the table.

Hopefully many of you have already gotten started, but there’s still plenty of time. I’ve also attached some audio and film adaptations if you find yourself running out of time as we get closer to our meeting. See you all soon!
