Description
Miguel de Cervantes's 17th-century masterpiece Don Quixote remains a pillar of world literature, often celebrated as the greatest novel ever written.
In Dreaming Out Loud, award-winning writer Lydie Salvayre pens a series of letters to Cervantes—both satirical and sincere—interrogating his intentions and reflecting on our modern world. Using the enduring figure of Don Quixote as a lens, Salvayre explores how we can resist forces that threaten our humanity. By bridging art and life, the absurd and the profound, she reveals what is truly timeless and inevitable.
Written with wit, passion, and the energy of a devoted reader, Dreaming Out Loud captures the indomitable human spirit.
'A magnificent defence of literature, this remarkable book is also a joyful antidote to the disillusionment of our times.' Les Inrockuptibles
