Episode notes

"If I knew that my good buddy Lothario is not gonna come around anymore, I don't know if I would have gotten me," Anselmo says. "Lothario said that it was manifestly insulting to their great friendship for Anselmo to go through as many preliminaries before telling him his most secret thoughts" 'I will tell you friend Lothario that the desire that plagues me is my wondering if Camilla my wife is as good and perfect as I think she is,' he adds. "'Why be grateful when a woman is good if no one urges her to be bad?' He goes on to ask."

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.
