Status Updates From The Letters of Gustave Flau...

bro😭

I never thought that Flaubert's letters would be sooo good.
There wasn't a single uninteresting letter up to now, and Flaubert isn't even 30 years old nor has published a single book.
Very excited about what's about to come, especially after his Voyage en Orient, a delicate mix of aesthetic reflections, sightseeing, self-doubt and a lot of sex tourism.

"To Louise Colet: [...] Stop being hurt because I speak to you about Shakespeare rather than myself. It's simply that he strikes me as more interesting."
Gustave is my man lol
