Cervantes and the Quixote

Cervantes is making fun of himself with the Quixote in his madcap search for glory. In part two, he's going to talk about people who are insulting him and giving him a bad Yelp review. And then also writing in these insults toward other authors who write, you know, pathetic literature themselves. So there's this kind of wild experience of where am I? And am I with Cervantes? Is the Quixute supposed to be him?
