Episode notes

A lot of stuff happens as this guy, Forrest Gumpse his way through a lot of actual real conflicts. Including some that Cervantes was involved in. And I don't remember the exact segment of how we like move to getting to know that guy's daughter who wants to run away and she's giving him all the money and stuff. Like what's the exact segue for that? Or is it important? He talks, he spends a whole chapter talking about the various boats that he was on both in the army and then as a prisoner of this Turkish like general or something.

Enjoy another episode of 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 28-42.

In Episode 5, Don Quixote rejoins the party. and everyone decides to shack up in the only inn/castle in all of Spain. Secondary characters step into the spotlight with their own stories, including a novel-within-a-novel called The Man Who Was Recklessly Curious.

In Episode 6, Don Quixote takes the backseat for a few more chapters. We have to close the book on Cardenio's Crew, finish the story of the Two Friends, and meet a few more ancillary characters who just love this inn.
