There is a kind of amazing cool action sequence that I was not expecting yeah about like 80% of the way through the book where a mob has come to execute the gypsy woman and Quasimodo is basically defending her from the top of Notre Dame single handedly. Hugo totally kills it he totally wrecks his momentum by switching to some dumb story about like Louis the 11th being a crappy king. It's more of a commentary on royalism than I really am prepared to talk aboutOkay probably okay but yeah it's like Quasimoda just totally ending everybody like he goes like John McLean in one scene. There's a little aside thing at the end again after you find
We're dipping back in the Victor Hugo well this week with his other best-known book The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Did you know that the book and the Disney movie don't end the same way?
Also on tap: road trips, games of tag, revisiting the poverty question from last week, and talking about Hugo's views on architecture vs. the printing press.
