Don Kiyotay is Don Quixote Squire. He's clearly, you know, not a man of means very excited to move up in the world but not excited to explain any of that to anybody who might he might be providing for. "He rides a donkey. Donkey Hote is like, hmm, should a squire have a donkey? I don't know"
Welcome to our newest show-within-a-show! We're reading Edith Grossman's translation of Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes a few chapters at a time. Some Patreon supporters get these episodes monthly, but every two months we'll combine them for general consumption.
These episodes cover Chapters 1-14.
In Episode 1, we do some table-setting on the author and translation, and then we dive into the first four chapters of the story. In Episode 2, our hero recruits the squire Sancho Panza and goes tilting after some windmills. Also we hear a whole story about a guy who died from lovesickness.
Join us as we meet this errant knight-errant!
