Tried reading Madame Bovary years ago and gave up on it, then felt embarrassed because writers I liked would speak in interviews about how much they loved reading Flaubert as a child. And only now am I finding out that these stories actually are kind of childish. The Dance of Death is about a dialogue between Death, Satan and Nero, and it’s mostly just a prose version of a Hieronymus Bosch painting. And The Legend of Saint Julian the Hospitalier is just the retelling of a medieval legend in the mode of a fairy tale.
