Don Quixote at 400: Open Source Radio

by Bud Parr


Chris Lydon of Open Source Radio is going to discuss “Don Quixote at 400” on Thursday (Dec-15, 7pm to 8pm Eastern time).


From their blog entry introducing the topic:


“Whether it is the greatest of literary masterpieces or the most mis-categorized and over-sold, Don Quixote (on its 400th birthday) is my prime example of the open-source novel. The tale — itself a patchwork of picaresque and pastoral narratives — has been infinitely cannibalized and copied, retold in the forms of painting (Picasso) and film, the symphonic score (Richard Strauss) and the Broadway musical, not to mention many million cartoons of knight and squire.”


One of the great things about Open Source Radio is their embrace of blogs and YOU are invited to participate in the discussion. So go over to the site, you Quixote-ites, and drop a comment, suggest some topics to talk about and of course, listen in.


I believe that James Iffland of Boston University will be a guest on the show, as well as, uh, me.
