I seriously recommend it for reading, and not to go much off topic, I'd point out at some aspects which actually can be related with Dylan. On some level, it can be read as a story about community of branded people (and community as a whole is branded), and their periodical oscilations between struggles to fight their stigma and forgetting that they have it at all. Overall direction is fatalistic, since individual agency is completely negated, in sense that subject's (concrete individual's) actions cannot change what is destined to be (to extinguish, in case of mentioned community). So that reminds of Dylan, in a way

Holy crap!

That does sound like something Dylan would read. I stand corrected. Though, I, too, doubt whether or not the writers had this in mind.

If not her, I would bet on Sylvia Plath

That would be hysterical.

You know, I didn't watch that epi, but I'd love to hear, for once, what one particular author and his work meant to him, VW for exmple. Except for Byron and Bukowski, which was, how to say, transparent

Transparent is the word, for sure. Well, I think Alexis just covered Woolf.

You mean there are still S3 episodes you haven't seen once?

It's in "Duke's Bad Boy" (part 3, I think) on YT.

It's super funny that exactly they are chosen, not just because of their glory and work, but also biographies and associations usually attached to them I mean, for example, figure of Baudelaire is for that XIX century "poetry of misunderstood souls"

Yeah, that's how I got into making that list. I was like, 'Wait, there are still clues ...'

90210 withdrawal ...

I think he was reciting something to Brenda but I don't remember what

Well, that was the Jack Grapes poem. The "Earth was a bed of grass" one from, "Otherwise Engaged". I found it's ridiculously hard to search for the author online, but I read one day that Crystal had found out his name. So I guess that's him.

My vote is, not surpringly, for this one.
