Episode notes

"This is a Don Quixote light episode. It is driven by the other characters almost exclusively, I would say." "I've got to believe that there's some other stuff stunned by the whiteness and beauty of those feet," he says. 'They're just these perfect feet that they talk about for several paragraphs,' another character adds. "'Nothing could be as good as them feet' That will be a theme for this whole episode here of Jack of Little Mill.' The story goes on with no Sancho or Cipriani in it at all.'"

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.
