Episode notes

Marcella, the vibe I got from her, this is just my own brain. It reminded me of Andrew, if you recall from the giant novel Infinite Jest,. Joelle Van Dine, the woman who's like so pretty that she has to wear the veil. She completely resents that their love of these love stories has constructed the reality in which she is forced to live. Yes. The way they talk about Marcella reminded me of the way that all those characters talk about her where they're just like, yeah, a little bit.

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!
