In the context of his procreation, there are tempting asides to be made on his priapism, but also the fact that he did have offspring but chose not to recognise them. In fact, while admiring the wonderful stories he wrote, it's hard to see him as anything other than a very unpleasant man.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345949773423764808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-64959313545467414962014-11-07T10:33:19.620+00:002014-11-07T10:33:19.620+00:00i don't mean flaubert, though, do i? it was gu...i don't mean flaubert, though, do i? it was guy de maupassant. no wonder my teachers didn't rate me....Jan Needlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823078224282953782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-48001330539411207842014-11-07T10:32:24.535+00:002014-11-07T10:32:24.535+00:00i read once (or maybe i just dreamed it?) that whe...i read once (or maybe i just dreamed it?) that when he was dying in a mental hospital, flaubert used to bury pebbles in the garden in the hope they'd turn out to be the babies he'd never had. just thought i'd mention it.Jan Needlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823078224282953782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-86407384237266985052014-11-07T09:35:38.564+00:002014-11-07T09:35:38.564+00:00I love this post!

I studied Flaubert at uni waaaay back, and I dream every night, and I have a very mixed relationship with dogs, both in dreams and waking life, so it was a pure delight. And, as a writer, one of the things I find intriguing is what each reader contributes to the possibilities of the story. Everybody's dog is different!
