hello friends. i've just finshed reading madame bovary today and would like to hear your thoughts on it.

do you agree with the sentiment that it is one of the best examples of realist literary style, or do you consider it nothing more than the crusted wank stain of 19th century french literature?

Discuss.

I remember being quite moved by it at the time. Of course, I realise that makes me a massive homosexual.

I read it a year ago but I was impressed with its ability to convey in a "contemporary way" for a novel apparently written in 1856.

I speak highly of this book. Even though it makes me a massive homosexual apparently.

madame bovary was a darn fool.

But I think that is indicative of a lot of French literature. (The fact that it conveys a more contemporary perspective than other literature at the time.)
