This week we are diving into the wildest corners of the internet. From the Idiots of Facebook Marketplace group to niche communities like Theater Set Design, and the secretive upside-down-pineapple parents of Facebook. We unpack the bizarre true story of the infamous 1800s raining meat mystery in Bath County, Kentucky, yap about terrible tattoos, and the strangely wholesome Fish Doorbell from the Netherlands. Think that's it? No we somehow are STILL CHATTING. We spill the tea on seeing Sarah Snook in The Picture of Dorian Gray on Broadway, reminisce about Aly & AJ's cameo in The Sims 2, and the lasting impact of Mumford & Sons.

Marc Levy est LE nom de la littérature populaire, il fallait qu'on en parle dans Torchon depuis bien trop longtemps ! Pourtant, pour la première fois depuis 2004, Marc Levy n'était pas dans le top 10 des auteurs francophones en 2024, évincé par des nouvelles venues, comme Morgane Moncomble ou Sarah Rivens. Il revient en 2025 avec La librairie des livres interdits, un livre qui parle de liberté d'expression, de censure, et de résistance. Pour des amoureux des livres et de la liberté comme nous, ça ne pouvait que nous parler ! Mais malheureusement, si le thème nous inspire, la réalisation beaucoup moins.

This week, Tommy is joined by actor, singer and songwriter Ben Barnes! On the acting side, Ben has become known as “the king of fantasy.” He starred as Prince Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia franchise before going on to create iconic performances in Dorian Gray, Westworld, Marvel’s The Punisher, and of course, the fan-favorite villain in the wildly popular Netflix series, Shadow and Bone. Earlier this year Ben released his debut album, “Where The Light Gets In.” Inspired by the soul and pop music he loves so much, the album is about the different stages of a relationship; beginnings, tension, sorrow, sex, love, endings, nostalgia. It’s about how our history and our scars configure to make us who we are in this moment. Today, Ben opens up about how he had to get used to feeling more exposed as he became a household name, why now was the right time in his life to put aside a wildly successful acting career to focus on his music, the fears and pressures that came with introducing a different side of himself to the world, going after his dreams at a point in his life that might feel like its too late to many, why age is just a number and shouldn’t dictate your dreams, what he was hoping to achieve with his beautiful debut album, how he reveals a much more personal side to himself for the first time through his music, if he has any interest in giving the fans what they want: a role in the Harry Potter world, his thoughts on reprising his villainous role in Shadow and Bone, how the most critical things ever said about him were said by himself, and so much more.

Does your face match your name? Surprisingly, researchers have scientifically proven that an Emma will never resemble a Sophie, or a Jack or an Oliver. They stem from a Franco-Israeli study published in July 2024, a collaboration between HEC Paris and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Participants were shown a photograph of a person and asked to choose their first name from four options. How can a first name influence our appearance? What is the Dorian Gray effect?

In this episode, we discuss the short story The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe, its many interpretations – from institutional decay, to psychology and health, to imagined realities – and the real-life history the story is said to have been based on. We then talk about What Moves the Dead, a retelling of Poe's short story, and whether or not it accomplished what it set out to do. Along the way, we also get into what makes a good adaptation and differences between gothic and horror genres. We also talk a bit about the recent Netflix adaptation The Fall of the House of Usher by Mike Flanagan.Shelf Discovery:The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins GilmanThe Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar WildeThe Empusium: A Health Resort Horror Story by Olga TokarczukIf you would like to get additional behind-the-scenes content related to this and all of our episodes, subscribe to our free newsletter.We love to hear from listeners about the books we discuss - you can connect with us on Instagram or by emailing us at thenovelteapod@gmail.com.This episode description contains links to Bookshop.org, a website that supports independent bookstores.

Avons-nous la tête de notre prénom ? Il semblerait que nous ayons la réponse scientifique à cette question qui revient souvent lors de small talks, du moins lorsque les personnes qui discutent ont des prénoms communs. Aussi étonnant que cela puisse paraître, des chercheurs l'ont prouvé scientifiquement : une Emma ne ressemblera jamais à une Camille, ou un Pierre et un Théo. En réalité, le choix de notre prénom est fortement influencé par notre milieu social, et c'est ce milieu qui peut-être corrélé avec notre apparence. D'où viennent ces résultats ? Comment expliquer qu'un prénom puisse influencer notre apparence ? Qu'est ce que l'effet Dorian Gray ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez".

He hopes that his decision to change his life for good will have changed the portrait and considers that his choice to leave the girl's reputation intact will show on the portrait's face. Dorian notices no positive change in the picture but sees that “in the eyes there was a look of cunning, and in the mouth the curved wrinkle of the hypocrite.” He realises that his any attempt of his to be good will be the attempt of a hypocrite, and any attempt to minimise his crimes will not redeem him. Furious at himself and the picture, he seizes a knife, the same one he used on Basil, and drives it into the portrait, in a hope to destroy it. From downstairs, his servants hear a cry and a bang. When they break into the room, they seem the beautiful portrait of Dorian that Basil painted all those years ago, and on the floor, the body of an old man, horribly disfigured, with a knife plunged deep into his heart. The servants are shocked and confused, and only realise that the man is their master Dorian Gray, by looking at the rings on his hands.

Dorian claims that he has changes and that he wants to reform himself and be virtuous. As if providing evidence of his new ways, Dorian tells Lord Henry of his most recent love affair, and claims that he spared the poor girl, from a relationship with him, by leaving her unblemished. Lord Henry dismisses Dorian's reformations, and turns the conversation to other subjects, namely, Alan Campbell's death and the mystery of Basil's disappearance. Dorian asks if he has considered that Basil could have been murdered. Lord Henry dismisses the idea, and when Dorian asks what he would think if Dorian said that he killed him, Lord Henry laughs away the notion of it, saying that murder is too vulgar a thing for Dorian to have done.

He begins to wonder whether his face was actually there or not, and this idea makes him wonder whether he will every be able to sleep again.Three days later, Dorian goes outside. He goes on a stroll around his estate, and feels strong again. He breakfasts with the Duchess and then goes on a walk with hunting party in the park. While strolling along side the men, Dorian becomes transfixed by a hare, and begs the men not to shoot the beautiful creature. One of the men laughs at Dorian's compassion and fires. The gunshot is immediately followed by a cry of pain, and several men dash into the bush to find that a man has been shot and killed. Lord Henry takes Dorian back to the house, and dismisses Dorian's claim that it is a bad omen. Attempting to lighten the mood, Lord Henry jokes with Dorian about his relationship with the duchess. Dorian fires back “I wish I could love,” and claims that he is too concentrated on himself and his own personality to love. When the Duchess comes to greet them, Dorian heads inside to leave Lord Henry to talk with her. Once in his room, the head keeper comes to see his master, and informs Dorian that no one knows who the dead man is, and that he wasn't a member of anyone's staff. The keeper, states that the man looks like a rough sailor type. On hearing this, Dorian demands to see the body and rides to the stables, where he finds the body of James Vane lying in the straw. Dorian finally feels safe again.

He talks with Lord Henry, the Dutchess of Monmouth, and her husband about the nature and importance of beauty, and other matters. The duchess criticises Lord Henry for placing too much importance on beauty. When the conversation turns to love, Lord Henry maintains that love, like life, depends on repeating great experiences over and over again. Dorian agrees as usual with Lord Henry and excuses himself. The guests hear a groan and a thud from the other side of the room, and rush over to find Dorian laying on the ground. At supper, Dorian has sudden chills, and thinks about what caused him to fall. He was certain that he saw the face of James Vane at the window.

He makes his way to a den where he encounters a young man called Adiran Singleton, whom it is said was corrupted by Dorian. They talk for a short while and Dorian leaves, whereupon a woman calls him “Devil's bargain”, and “Prince Charming.” At these words, a Sailor rushes out after him and follows Dorian's path. Dorian reflects on whether or not he should feel bad about what he did to Adrian, but his thoughts are cut short as he is tackled and held at gunpoint by the Sailor, James Vane. Sibyl's brother has been trying to find Dorian for years, but not knowing his name other than “Prince Charming,” he has been tricky to find. Dorian scared, but sure of himself, manages to convince the man that he could not have been the man that he is hunting, since Dorian has the face of a 20 year old, and Sibyl has been dead for 18 years. James Vane releases Dorian, defeated, and Dorian makes his way quickly down the alleyway. Turning to head back, a woman says to James that Dorian has been coming to that den for 18 years, and he hasn't aged a day. Furious at himself for letting him go, James Vane vows to track Dorian down, and now with a name, the pursuit will be much simpler.

Reflecting on his calmness, he feels a great pleasure in his double life. Lady Narborough, the hostess, discusses her daughter's sad scandal-less, country life. Dorian is rather bored at the party, but brightens up when he hears Lord Henry's voice from the hallway. During the dinner, Dorian finds it impossible to eat. Lord Henry asks what is wrong with him and Lady Narborough suggests that he is in love. Dorian assures her that she is wrong. The party goers talk about marriage and the ladies then leave the men to talk about politics and scandals. Lord Henry and Dorian discuss a party that is to be held on his estate. Lord Henry asks him too about where he was the previous evening, and for the first time in his life, Dorian's mask cracks. He tries to play it calm, but quickly decides that he is going to go home. When home, he immediately goes to his hiding spot and burns Basil's belongings. He then goes to his secret draw and takes out some opium before disguising himself in common clothes and making his way to a dodgy part London where he can find opium dens.

When he thinks about the events of the previous night, he feels his hatred for Basil return. He decides not to think it over though, hoping not to drive himself mad. After breakfasting he send for an old friend called Alan Campbell, a chemist he used to know quite intimately. While waiting, Dorian reads, and reflects on his former friendship with the man, and draws faces that strangely all seem to resemble Basil in some way. Campbell arrives against his wishes, and announces that he came only as he believed it a matter of life and death. Dorian confesses that there is a dead man upstairs, and asks Campbell to use his chemical knowledge to get rid of it. Campbell refuses outright, and only after Dorian extorting him, does Campbell agree to get rid of the body. After sending off for all he would need, Dorian takes him upstairs, and he starts his work; Dorian quickly rushing in beforehand to cover the portrait, that is now boasting bloody hands. Campbell works all day and then leaves. When Dorian goes up stairs, the body is gone and the room smells of Nitric acid.
The book is shocking, disturbing, entertaining, and unbelievably thought provoking all at once - no wonder Stanley Kubrick decided to turn the book into a movie (which is a must-watch classic in its own right). It's also an unforgettable masterwork of language, as the narrator, Alex, and his droogs speak in slang that is somehow entirely novel and comprehensible at the same time.As always, no spoilers until the end when we get into the full plot explanation and discussion.

Inside, lighting a candle, Dorian tears the curtain away to reveal the portrait. The painting has become a foul parody of its former beauty. Basil stares at the picture, thinking at first that it is a mockery of his work, but in horror he sees his signature at the bottom. Dorian stands and watches Basil with Triumph in his eyes. When Basil asks how this change could be possible, Dorian reminds him of the prayer he uttered on the day he met Lord Henry, asking for eternal youth. Basil curses the painting as an “awful lesson”, and states that he worshiped the young Dorian too much. He begs Dorian to pray and ask for forgiveness, but Dorian believes it to be too late. Looking at the picture, he feels a deep hatred grow in him towards Basil, and he seizes a knife to stab Basil with. He opens the Door to the study and listens for anyone stirring. When he believes that no one is there, he locks the door, hides Basil's belongings, and dresses up to head out. He then rings the doorbell to summon his servant, claiming to have only just come home, creating himself the perfect alibi when it is discovered that Basil is missing.

He tries to sneak past him unnoticed, but Basil calls out to him and walks him home. Basil mentions that he is to leave for Paris for 6 months and felt that he needed to see Dorian before catching his train and warn him about the terrible rumours circulating about him. Basil reminds Dorian that there are no such things as secret vices: sin always writes itself across a man's face. After saying these words, he demands to know why so many of Dorian's friendships have ended in disaster. One boy killed himself, others had their careers and reputations ruined, Lord Henry's sister is an outcast. Basil chastises Dorian and urges him to use his influence for good and not evil. He adds that he wonders if he knows Dorian at all and wishes that he were able to see his soul. Dorian laughs at this and says that Basil will have his wish. He promises to show Dorian his soul. Basil decries Dorian's blasphemy, and begs Dorian to deny the things that are being said about him. Smiling, Dorian offers to show Basil the Diary of his life, which will answer all of his questions.

He orders dozens of copies of the book in different colours to fit his moods and fancies. Years pass, and though the world around him, and the picture grows, Dorian does not. He is still beautiful, but dark stories about him and his character seem to follow and circle around him. Most people dismiss these stories, since Dorian's face shows no signs of sin. Dorian delights in the corruption of his soul and corruption of the picture locked away. He reflects that too much of life is pledged to discipline and avoiding pleasure and pledges his life to discovering “the true nature of the senses.” Dorian keeps up on all of the theories and discoveries of the time, but never lets these dominate him or his experiences. He devotes himself to beautiful things: perfumes, music, jewellery, embroideries, and tapestries. Dorian continues to watch the corruption of the picture of himself. Sometimes the picture fills him with horror, while at other times he reflects happily on the burdens that he has avoided. He is filled with a greater fear above all though. A fear that someone will break in and steal the picture from him and show his soul to the world.

He then calls his housekeeper Mrs Leaf and asks for the key to his old schoolroom upstairs. Dorian then covers the picture Basil painted for him with a satin curtain, reflecting on the sins that will change the face on the canvas behind it. The men from the frame makers arrive, and help Dorian carry the picture into his old room where it can be hidden away from prying eyes. After locking the door he goes downstairs to his library and settles down to read a book that Lord Henry sent him. The book details life of a young Parisian who devotes his life to “all of the passions and modes of thought that belonged to every century except his own.” After reading only a few pages, Dorian becomes enveloped, though he knows the book to be poisonous.

What is past is past.” Horrified at the change in his friend, Basil blames Lord Henry's corrupting influence. In discussing Sibyl's death, Dorian indeed uses many of Lord Henry's phrases and mottos. Dorian asks Basil to do a drawing of Sibyl for him, and though confused, Basil says that he would do anything for Dorian if that is what he wanted. Basil also asks Dorian to sit for him again at which Dorian immediately refuses, saying that he could never sit for Basil again. Basil asks if he is displeased with his portrait as he has it covered and tells Dorian that he plans to exhibit it in Paris. Hearing this, Dorian immediately breaks and jumps between the portrait and Basil. He insists that Basil never look at the portrait and never exhibit it, and goes to say that if Basil ever look at it, he will never talk to him again. Dorian then asks Basil why he has changed him mind on exhibiting the picture. Basil confesses that he was worried that the picture would show to the world his obsession for Dorian. Basil believes, like all art, that the picture tells more about him that it does Dorian. Basil asks again for Dorian to sit for him. Dorian refuses, and Basil leaves. When finally alone, Dorian decides to hide his portrait.

When up, he goes to the portrait, and seems that in the daylight, the painting still has the cruel touch in it. While Dorian tries to think of a rational explanation for the change Lord Henry shows up and bangs hurriedly on the door to be let in. On opening the door, Lord Henry asks if Dorian knows that Sibyl killed herself the previous night. Dorian is stunned and convinced that he was the reason for her death. Lord Henry urges Dorian not to believe that it was his fault, and to not wallow in guilt. He adds that he thinks it was beautiful that a girl killed herself for him, the most romantic act that she could have done. Dorian feels numb, and Lord Henry asks him to come to the Opera with him tonight, and Dorian eventually agrees. When Lord Henry is gone, Dorian reflects on this act, and considers it a turning point in his life, and resolves that he shall live life to the fullest, and let the portrait age, and show his sins for him before leaving for the Opera.

Dorian continues to flatter the abilities of Sibyl, and Basil says that he supports Dorian's engagement after hearing how much he loves the girl. When the play begins however, it seems that Sibyl is the most mediocre actor to ever be on stage. Unable to understand what has happened to Sibyl, Dorian is heartbroken. Lord Henry tries to cheer him up by saying that “It isn't like Dorian wanted his wife to be an actress” and asks Dorian to leave with he and Basil. Dorian says that he is going to stay and see the play through, and Lord Henry and Basil leave him. After the play, Dorian goes backstage to see her, and asks he if she is sick, and tells her that she performed terribly. Sibyl is happy at her dreadful performance and says that she performed so badly because she is in love with Dorian. She feels that she can never fake being in love again because of it. Dorian chastises her for her performance and tells her that she means nothing to him anymore. Her terrible acting broke his heart, and he will never utter her name again. After leaving her, Dorian wanders the streets of London in a delirious state before going home. There, he looks at Basil's Portrait of him and he sees a faint change in his painted lips. There is a slight look of cruelty there. Scared, he starts to feel that he was too harsh on Sibyl, and vows to repent. He hides the picture behind a screen and hopes that all will be better in the morning when he makes amends to Sibyl.
