The boys are back at full strength this week as they discuss a favorite of all of theirs, Gustave Flaubert's
Madame Bovary. They spend some time luxuriating in Flaubert's prose, and discussing the book as a fountainhead of numerous literary streams. They also talk about imitation, ascetic mysticism, and stultifying bourgeois life.
Theme music: "Shostakovich," by Mucca Pazza.
