Henry Wotton, homosexual, drug addicted, and spouse of Batface, the irrefutably aristocratic princess of the Duke of the or That, reaches the center of a clique dedicated to dissolution. His good friend Baz Hallward, an artist, has discovered a man who's the epitome of male beauty - Dorian Gray. His installation Cathode Narcissus captures all of Dorian's allure, and, perhaps, something else. Certainly, after a night of debauchery that climaxes in a veritable conga type of buggery, Wotton and Hallward are caught in the hideous web of a retrovirus that becomes synonymous with the 10 years. Sixteen years later the Royal Broodmare, as Wotton has dubbed her, is dying in a Parisian underpass. But what of Wotton and Hallward? How have they fared as stocks and shares soar and T-cell matters plummet? And what of Dorian? How is it that he remains so more youthful while throughout him shrivel and perish? Set against the Helps epidemic of the '80s and '90s, Will Self's Dorian is a shameless reworking of our most significant misconception of shamelessness, brilliantly evoking the decade in which it was fine to stare in to the abyss, if you were wearing two pairs of Ray-Bans.
