Episode notes

Kiyote wakes up and is immediately like, give me my sword. I'm just going to start hacking and slashing my bedroom. He tries to go to the library and is like, wow, there's no, hmm. There used to be a door here, but now it's just a wall. Strange. And I think his housekeeper. The point being that maybe maybe priest skid made fun of a little bit behind their backs. Yeah. But what survives this burning are like some individual shivalric books that like. early quote good examples of the genre before all the imitators came out and just ruined it.

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!
