Communist Manifesto

De Profundis by Oscar Wilde

Long angry letter from a miserable faggot spending two years in prison, written to the gay lover who abandoned him. Wilde's pompous and overly verbose prose at its finest. Will sound deeply profound and unbearably cringe at the same time. Would strongly recommend.

Probably American Psycho:

This was written before Ellis himself came out as gay, but it's not like that was much of a shock. It'd sort of be like Harry Styles coming out as gay now. Even Ellis had addressed the subject repeatedly in interviews.
