>reading Don Quixote >footnote: * The stealing of the ass

when authors cant be bothered to write consistently, ugh

>>9591676

Was that the author or the translator?

>>9591676
Don Quixote is bad with a straight face

>>9591686
Don't ruin the joke, faggot

I know that this is a troll thread to get people to talk about Don Quixote, but honestly, stuff like that makes me love the book even more. It gives it a greater sheen of authenticity, of being a true (as in genuine/authentic, not that it happened in real life) story told for fun rather than obsessively whittled and pared to perfection until feeling is sucked out of it.

>The vomiting scene

>>9591676
Was done on purpose desu.

>>9591676
Flaubert had a similar error in Madame Bovary with that of the already pawned furniture being sold. Do not exaggerate.

>>9591686
It's Cervantes' own joke. Don Quixote is a character of a fictitious historical recollection and study. In the fictitious "history" being recollected throughout the novel, the part OP is referencing is a criticism of the inaccuracies in continuity in the history books of the time as well as Cervantes' having a bit of a meta joke at others' expense..

No it isn't.

He makes it a meta joke later, but in this specific instance it is clearly an actual error (likely due to the leaving out of a certain part of the story).

>he makes it a meta joke later

What did he mean by this?
