Episode notes

Last time we saw Don Quixote he was laying on the ground in his big heavy armor totally beaten up. So what happens as we open up chapter five I guess chapter five not chapter four? He is a public menace which we'll get to. And he does do like kind of by accident something good in this run but I feel like it might be a broken clock situation.

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!
