OK now I have to add this novel to my list. Thank you Zineb for a wonderful and usefull call to action. Of course, it will have to wait till I've finished listening to Maddox Ford's entrancing tetrology for the second time, because I say there will be no more parades....
When I read Madam Bovary several years ago, I couldn’t get Don Quixote out of my head. Flaubert read Cervantes’ novel when he was a young man and he was profoundly influenced by it.
The connection between the two authors is an interesting one. Well worth a read is “Flaubert and Don Quijote: How Cervantes influenced Madame Bovary” by Soledad Fox, a Professor of Comparative Literature at Williams College.
