The moral of this story is that if you have a friend who says deplorable things then you should shun them before they corrupt you or your other friends.

A very gay story of a very impressionable and stupid man.

The prose was very purple and also masterbatory at times, making me go cross-eyed trying to slog through those parts. There are racist descriptions, but luckily (hah) Oscar Wilde only discussed non‐white goy except in passing.

The book ends rather abruptly and unsatisfactorily.
