Madame Bovary, by Gustave Flaubert.

Location: Paris66

Published in 1857, Flaubert's Madame Bovary has been called, variously, obscene;
an icon of Realism; a signal of the dawn of feminism; and the most perfect and
influential novel ever written, for its controlled and beautifully articulated
detail. Said John Updike: "Madame Bovary is like the railroad stations erected
in its epoch: graceful, even floral, but cast of iron."
Here, a link to a short essay about Bovary in Salon:

Hi,
My name is Danielle Fine. I am twenty-one years old, home from college for the
summer, and looking for babysitting jobs. I am available any time except for
Sundays 6 pm-9 pm, Tuesdays 6 pm-9 pm, and Thursdays 6 pm-9 pm because I
am studying for the MCAT. If you're interested please call me on my cell: 412-
916-3796.
Thanks,
DanielleFrom: Jessica Miller <kekikamiller@yahoo.com>Date: June 16, 2009 11:57:48 AM EDTTo: Highland Park List Serve <neighborhood@highlandparkpa.com>Subject: [Highland Park] Yard Sign Vandalized / Flier Posted
I left my house for about an hour this morning (6/16).
When I returned my Obama yard sign had been taken down. No chance this happened without someone pulling it apart.
There was also a flier on my door for Marshall Home Improvement 101 1-800-726-7398. I don't know if this is a coincidence but I really wasn't gone for long and have had only one incident with the sign before since prior to the election. No kids or other folks are running around the block like kids were the other time either. This seems more than a coincidence to me.
I called the company and let them know how angry I was. They denied the taking down of the Obama sign.
Could have been just someone hanging fliers for them I guess. I'm ticked though!
