ok Don Quixote is WAY undersold. you hear "first modern novel" and it's like "uh-huh" but this is an unhinged man, a true monty python character, going around in cardboard knight cosplay "armor" doing a LARP he thinks is real, anyone who can do do more than stare is going "please leave sir"

Pinky And The Brain doing Mouse Of La Mancha was pretty good too. And the intermediate Man Of La Mancha rocks.
Have had this sitting around since *sighs shamefully* 2015.
Fucker needs its own like, dedicated desk though.
Don quixote
What do you say?
Are we proud, are we brave
Or just crazy?
Don quixote
What do you say?
Are we shouting at windmills like you?
"I got really nervous about writing this book because I would have to fill it with erudite quotes and get famous people to recommend it. Then my friend said, you fool, you absolute buffoon. just make that stuff up and lie about where you heard it."
The “Chad” Cervantes publishes his own pt 2, and *canonically incorporates the knock off book* just so the real Don Q can discover it and absolutely ROAST it and its author.
Absolute legend.
The key bit would be capturing the sheer amount of other interesting stuff going on around Don that he ignores because it doesn't fit his fantasy.
Cervantes said: "I will kill Don Quijote and then no one will be able to make it fanfics" lol, a really funny context. 💀
