Aneel reviewed Don Quijote by Miguel de Unamuno (A Norton critical edition)
Review of 'Don Quijote' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This took me quite a while to get through, and after reading the literary criticism at the back of the Norton Critical Edition I still feel like I read it very shallowly. I liked the translation. I got the feeling that a lot of the wordplay and jokes were rendered into English well. Much of the material struck chords with me. The image of a man out of his time, doing things in a certain way because that's how he's read that they're done resonates particularly well.
