Oxford Univ Pr. 06/01/1998. 236 pgs. Oscar Wilde's classic work is about a man who sells his soul for eternal youth: only his portrait ages, while he remains forever handsome and young. Wilde's allegory, first published in 1890, provides an interesting take on the Faust myth and also a probing examination of human values. Wilde himself described it as the story of "an idea that is old in the history of literature, but to which I have given new form." He was shocked and angered by the response to it by the English press, which considered the novel decadent, corrupting, and--worst of all--French-influenced.

Random House Inc. 12/01/1987. Told in the second person, BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY is about a nameless young man's flight from mortality during one Manhattan night--a trip through nightclubs, parties, editorial offices, and fashion shows, with drugs and wit and dubious friendships to carry him along. Jay McInerney's hugely influential--and, at its heart, wonderfully satirical--novel inspired an entire genre of books about the aimless, hopeless lives of druggy yuppies in the city. BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY is one of the best, informed by McInerney's street-smart comic sense and relentlessly clear eye. In 1988, it was made into a movie starring Michael J. Fox.
