Oscar Wilde contrived to minimise this disability by talking his works before writing them.
The conversation of Lord Henry Wotton with his uncle, and again at lunch when he wishes to fascinate Dorian Gray, is an excellent reproduction of Oscar's ordinary talk.

The uncle wonders why Lord Dartmoor wants to marry an American and grumbles about her people: "Has she got any ?" Lord Henry shook his head.

"American girls are as clever at concealing their parents as English women are at concealing their past," he said, rising to go.
"They are pork-packers, I suppose ?" "I hope so, Uncle George, for Dartmoor's sake.

I am told that pork-packing is the most lucrative profession in America, after politics." All this seems to me delightful humour.
The latter part of the book, however, tails off into insignificance.
The first hundred pages held the result of months and months of Oscar's talk, the latter half was written offhand to complete the story.

"Dorian Gray" was the first piece of work which proved that Oscar Wilde had at length found his true vein.
A little study of it discovers both his strength and his weakness as a writer.
