Dorian Gray's creator (5)
I believe the answer is:
wilde
'dorian gray's creator' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for wilde that I've seen before include "Author of Lady Windermere's Fan" , "Author of The Portrait of Dorian Gray" , "Oscar -, Irish author" , "Oscar --, writer and wit" , "Oscar or Kim?" .)
