KPBS AIRDATE: March 02, 2007 Venality and obscenity. Two modern American classics go for the jugular with gleeful bloodlust. They may be foul-mouthed, rife with cruelty and coarseness, but these Pulitzer Prize winners are breathtaking as they bare the ugly underbelly of industry and matrimony, impishly undermining the American Dream.
