Summary

Chapter 42: H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) goes mano a mano with Don Quixote author Miguel de Cervantes (Horatio Sanz). You may be pleased to hear that the name "Terry Gilliam" is never mentioned.

Thanks to The Time Travel Mart and 826LA.

826 National is a nonprofit organization that provides strategic leadership, administration, and other resources to ensure the success of its network of eight writing and tutoring centers. 826 centers offer a variety of inventive programs that provide under-resourced students, ages 6-18, with opportunities to explore their creativity and improve their writing skills. We also aim to help teachers get their classes excited about writing. Our mission is based on the understanding that great leaps in learning can happen with one-on-one attention, and that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success. Last year our tutoring centers — located in Ann Arbor, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, DC — served over 29,000 students.

0:29.0	Hello all and welcome to Chapter 42 of the Dead Authors Podcast. My name is H.G. Wells, and my guest for this installment of our program is the Spanish novelist

1:01.7	towel my novel the Time Machine is of course
1:05.0	groundbreaking, brilliant and utterly unique. Unfortunately it's also a book
