The Picture of Dorian Gray: An Annotated, Uncensored Edition

2019 Pride month read #18
As much as it's saddening to see the uncensored and censored version side by side, what must be the most heartbreaking thing is to hold the book in your hands, knowing you're reading something that cost him everything he had, including his life. I don't think anyone can escape the sickening feeling upon remembering they're reading a story that was essentially used to convict and kill an innocent man. And you can't not feel overwhelmingly grateful to him for not only writing it, but also being brave and publishing it.
