Melee 08 - Brian Patrick Eha talks Flaubert

Brian Patrick Eha is a widely-published essayist, journalist and critic. In this expansive conversation we talk Gustave Flaubert as a precursor to Modernism, the method of free indirect discourse in Madame Bovary and the madness of The Temptation of St. Anthony, as well as a few under-appreciated books from Brian’s personal canon.

This will be on the free feed sometime next week.
