Episode 73-The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
Before there were reality shows where gay friends were dramatically overwrought, there was Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray. We think he might have invented the genre. Thanks to Moon Abbott for the recommendation and to Paul and Moon Abbott for being the first parent/child combo team on Reads and Weeds. If you enjoy a witty 19th century upper class comedy tinged with a super dark lesson in the perils of excessive vanity, this book is for YOU! The songs I mention/sing not so perfectly during the episode are 'Older and Taller' by Regina Spektor and 'Forever Young' by Alphaville. Go smoke something and read the book and listen to the songs and let me know what you think. Cheers!
