Before I close my Eyes...

In a perfect world, Prince William would be cast as Dorian Gray. He would be ideal in a movie based on Oscar Wilde's classic.

weird! in this book, Dorian falls in love with a black male junkie, called Hermann, and after a night of shooting up, Hermann dies... from there, Dorian's picture begins to change. This skinhead, Ginger, decides to avenge Hermann's death, and he is now at the moment looking for Dorian in the crackhouses so he can kill him.

Maybe Will Self decided not to be so faithful to the original.

or maybe he changed Sybil Vane into Hermann. Whoa.

was Sybil a lost kind of person? Did she have a night of debauchery with Sir Henry, Baz and Dorian?

[icymorning.livejournal.com]

not at all ... she was an actress who played shakespeare in a w onderful way devoted totally devoted to dorian, thats why she killed herself when he denied her proposal.

hmmm... i finished the book last night. the end is very very obscure and I don't know what to make of it.

Sybil never appeared.

¨so its a very very weird interpretation, its more like a re-writing of it.

i think so... the ending was very much like a mirror suddenly put against the story itself, and warped... and it ends in a gritty abandomned urinal!

yuk.
