Its about the right age for Matvey to read Oscar Wilde's, if hes not reading it the second time, or we are really having something here. we read that in high school (not Amy, well, she is american). It is a truly amazing thing to know all those euro boys could read proper english literature like native speaker. Matvey has a perfect New York accent by the way.
The book is considered one of the last works of classic gothic horror fiction with a strong Faustian theme.It deals with the artistic movement of the decadents, and homosexuality, both of which caused some controversy when the book was first published. However, in recent times, the book has been regarded as one of the modern classics of Western literature. So we can not Out Matvey like this simply b/c he was in fact reading a Gothic Gay Novel written by one of the most fabulous gay writer, right?
In case you are all of sudden interested in this book. You could read it online at Gutenberg.
PS: WE TOTALLY THINK THAT READING THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY AT THE BACKSTAGE OF RAG & BONES OF NEW YORK FASHION WEEK SEASONS DURING THE RECESSION OF THE WORLD'S SECOND BIGGEST ECONOMIC DISASTER IS A GENERAL STANDARD LEVEL OF BEING A PRETENTIOUS LITTLE PRICK. FASHION NEED A BREAK. SO DOES SO YOUNG SO WANNABES.
