Description:

Améry reimagines Flaubert's Madame Bovary from the point of view of Charles Bovary. Charles Bovary tells his side, Améry vindicates Flaubert's hated bourgeoisie, and in the end, Flaubert himself winds up in the docket, forced to account for the implausibility of his own vaunted realism. -- adapted from back cover.
