  • The Left Page - Episode 100 - Don Quixote: Jousting with Fiction
    Feb 16 2026

    To celebrate the centennial Left Page we go to the start, the originator of the modern novel: Don Quixote de la Mancha!


    We go over the fantasies of Don Quixote, the way the two books deal with reality, fantasy, and primarily books and reading! All the while not forgetting the deep materiality involved in the depictions, and how there is still more than we think to it.


    Come celebrate our 100th episode with one of the greatest of all time!


    Enjoy!
