Thanks for this - I'm certain it will prove very helpful once I manage to get further into the novel. I'm still pretty far up at the top of the outline at the moment, but making progress...
I'm hoping they will be helpful as you go along, which is why I was trying to get them out early. The major chapters tend to run together when looking back on them.
"the blabber of Seville" is good. Apt, too. All the foreshadowing in The Honeymoon is admirable. I just wish someone would put it out in two volumes. The Penguin Classics 800-page edition I'm reading is a big, difficult object to deal with. But worth the struggle, yes, yes.
I'm glad you're enjoying it. This is my third time and I was concerned I would be bored. Fortunately I was wrong. Even with the...well, the heft isn't too much of a problem for me. Density might be a better term.
And the imbiber and blabber have been two of my favorites so far.
Thanks for stirring up interest. Starting next week I'll create a post that links to posts on the book.
I'm getting ma femme a copy to read as well. It surprises me that the book's now out of print. You can still get new copies of the Penguin Classics, but I tried to order a copy from the local university bookstore at lunch today and I was out of luck. I found an online dealer with a used library copy. Such a good novel out of print! A real shame.

Glad to hear of the progress!
