Episode 7: On a soldier, a slave, and a sane madman This episode is all about “Don Quixote“, the tower of classic lit awesomeness by Miguel de Cervantes! We talk about the author’s life, the novel’s history, and the remarkable way Cervantes was able to blur the fantasy and reality for both his characters and the reader. I have had a copy of Don Quixote on every bookshelf in every place I’ve lived for the last 15 years and just got around to actually reading it about two months ago (the decision was made one sleepless night when, for the life of me, I could not get Linda Eder’s version of “Man of La Mancha” out of my head!). What I discovered was so much cooler than anything I could have anticipated.
