Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7,234
A disturbing tale of a young man's uncanny ability to remain both young and beautiful while descending into a life of heartless debauchery, The Picture of Dorian Gray was considered proof of both Wilde's genius and his perversion. Oscar Wilde's scandalous best seller of 1891 was one of the most damning pieces of evidence used against him in the trial that brought about his downfall.

Mesmerizing audio. Russell Tovey offers a stage worthy one man reading/performance of this tragically painful story.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 147
A surreal love letter to this private side of the Met, Metropolitan Stories unfolds in a series of amusing and poignant vignettes in which we discover larger-than-life characters, the downside of survival, and the powerful voices of the art itself. The result is a novel bursting with magic, humor, and energetic detail, but also a beautiful book about introspection, an ode to lives lived for art, ultimately building a powerful collage of human experience and the world of the imagination.

A true delight—exquisitely written with wit, whimsy and keen sense of knowing. The narrative is finely woven with New York-speak. For anyone who has spent repeated mornings and afternoons lovingly admiring the art and objects, this novel is like a glimpse behind the curtain. I laughed, and loved, and was enjoyably transported back to the magic of the galleries.
