The Man Who Was Dorian Gray tells the story of John Gray: a working class boy whose passionate friendship with Oscar Wilde made his name as the reputed model for Wilde's scandalous novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray. Noted Wilde scholar Jerusha McCormack traces Gray's life, from decadent poet to dedicated priest, whose first work was in the Edinburgh slums. Gray's shifting relationships with Wilde and, later, with his lifelong companion, André Raffalovich, provide us with fascinating insights into fin de siècle literary society and the emerging gay culture of the period.]

It starts off really slow. I was told to stick it out until the trial desciptions and that would be better.
