A lesbian character in a 19th century novel? Mon dieu! If, like me, you've only ever read the abridged version of Alexandre Dumas's classic French historical fiction epic, you'll be surprised by what awaits in the unabridged version. Join Ok Real Quick as we dive into the textual evidence of Eugenie Danglar's romantic love for Louise d'Armilly.

This week's Special Segment is "From My To Be Read Pile", where we talk about the book "The Black Count" by Tom Reiss.

Heather Rose Jones's The Rise of Gay Paris can be found through this link.
