Don Quixote's author was either really petty, kind of a genius, or...both.

Maybe the real winners are the windmills we tilted at along the way.

Based on how much I liked The Princess Bride and Just Stab Me Now, I think metafiction might be my favorite "genre." Nice to know it was around 400+ years ago!

In Jack Campbell's The Lost Fleet series, after a few books the hero's number two comments that her Uncle was a book publisher and she broke his heart by not being the same. The hero is delighted that a Book Publishers is broken. She then starts talking about the incredibly stupid covers her Uncle would put in books about the Hero's life which would have no relevance to the story, the descriptions were familiar to fans of the series.

Oh I love that. No litigation, just a well judged roasting. Cervantes has just gone to new heights in my estimation :)

I have heard Don Quixote described as the first modern novel, so it's perfectly reasonable that it also spawned the rip-off.

Much more artful than the broadside insults for popular detective novelists, like child and Baldacci.
