Welcome to This American Lust.
I'm Ira Glass. Today on our program: Sordid Sins. Stories of indiscretions done indiscreetly.
Our story today in five acts.
Act One: "Pride Goeth Before the Balls"
A story of a women who finds love in the African jungle when she comes across a missionary/lion tamer, who has long been aching for the touch of the fairer sex.
Narrated by David Rakoff.
Act Two, and when we arrive at Act Two of our program, I'll say--Act Two: "Envy and Ivory"
Two sisters fight over the same blind pianist, who turns out to see them better than they can see themselves seeing him...seeing them...all too clearly.
Act Three: "Three-Hoed Sloth"
In this act, we follow three ladies of the night on their journey through the erotic underworld...of Tuscon.
Act Four, Act Four, and one more time, Act Four:
"I Wanna Eat @#$% Off Your %^&*, Bra: A Tale of Gluttony" written and narrated by Sarah Vowell. A story about the people who founded Hawaii and how things got so kinky, so fast.
And finally, Act Five: "Greed Gets You Tied Up and Paddled"
A man mugs a woman only to have her chase him down, knock him unconscious, drag him back to her apartment, and, as you probably guessed from the title, ties him up and paddles him.
And that woman is celebrated author Joyce Carol Oates.
Stay with us.
