Title: Flaubert, a difficult read
Review: Dense text resulted in my frequent loss of concentration (I got lost). When Flabert is addressed, there are too many assumptions and presumptions. Guessing I can do without. There are passages of literary excellency, but one must weed through too much tedium to find treasures. This is more of a history lesson than a biographical description and analysis.
