  • Summary

  • Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In the first part of our fifty-ninth episode, we tackle the first half of the biggest book we've ever featured on the show: Miguel de Cervantes's Picaresque adventure, Don Quixote (1605).We look at its status as potential 'first novel', one of the most influential works of all time (from Shakespeare to Dumas to Forrest Gump), and debate which of the two hosts is the Quixote and which one is the Sancho Panza.
