Flaubert Anonymous Sat Feb 23 23:43:52 2019 No.12653330 [Reply] [Original]

Where should I start with this guy? Which translation? Also, any cool trivia about this guy? I invariably hear him discussed with the likes of Faulkner and Joyce.

>Flautbert was asked about what was the process when writing female characters, especially how he achieved such analysis of the female condition in Madame Bovary. Flautbert inhaled his pipe, looked down in a pensive manner, and answered: First, i write my character as a man. Then i strip him out of reason and accountability, adding physical weakness and love for degeneracy. The female name comes last.

>>	Anonymous Sat Feb 23 23:52:58 2019 No.12653375 >>12653344 The funny thing is although this is a lie, Flaubert probably believed something similar. He didn’t have a lot of respect for women, I don’t know if he ever really loved anyone except for a crush he had on an older woman as a young boy.

>>	Anonymous Sun Feb 24 05:34:42 2019 No.12654298 >>12653330 For trivia read Julian Barnes' Flaubert's Parrot; start with Sentimental Education so far as Flaubert himself is concerned.

>>	Anonymous Sun Feb 24 05:44:19 2019 No.12654334 Bouvard and Pecuchet is the best novel of the 19th century

>>	Anonymous Sun Feb 24 08:54:14 2019 No.12654817 >>12653330 reminder that Flaubert put dildoes up his ass

>>	Anonymous Sun Feb 24 08:59:16 2019 No.12654839 >>12654298 >start with Sentimental Education so far as Flaubert himself is concerned Retarded advice. There’s literally no reason not to start with Bovary. >>12654334 Def not.

>>	Anonymous Sun Feb 24 09:02:20 2019 No.12654853 Bouvard et Pecuchet > La Tentation de Saint Antoine > Salammbô > Hérodias >>> Madame Bovary

>>	Anonymous Sun Feb 24 09:10:16 2019 No.12654880 >>12654839 >There's literally no reason not etc. The principal characters are younger, male, and the novel has both coming of age aspects and fewer pages. These are good reasons to start with Sentimental Education.
