Episode notes

It's like a sitcom trope where one character has a terrible secret and another character finds out about it. And then they use the terrible secret as leverage to do their own terrible secret. So, Lothario sees... It's like this quadruple cross where everybody's trying to fake everybody else out. "I'm glad that Miguel de Cervantes and is it Sue Grafton who did all the letter murder books? They both whiffed on X"

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.
