Having the background context that this book was used as evidence in Oscar Wilde’s trial for his gay tendencies is so interesting. I’m inclined to say that this is some of the gayest writing I’ve ever read, like yeah, but also the inherent queerness of the writing/characters is arguably irrelevant to the story. The idea of reducing all the complexities of this novel down to that alone makes me so sad.
