The urge to sprinkle a little reference to Martin Guerre in everything is so strong.

Like the actual court case and it’s documents and Jean de Coras’ commentary in his case summary are all so fascinating. Plus the way it is captured in Natalie Zemon Davis’ The Return of Martin Guerre is very well done, with her included inferences and sources being very helpful for the context of the situation, it’s all so incredible.

Also Bertrande de Rols the woman you are. She said she can only move in this system in limited ways but by god is she gonna shuffle.

If you want a good read that covers a case from 1550s France about a man impersonating another man and taking over his place in the family, then this is the thing to read.

Plus it also gives insight into the peasant class during that time period, something that is severely lacking in both the eyes of historians and literature.

Hi Josh,

I finished pentiment yesterday and what an amazing game it was! I loved the visual details and font telling you about the character and how Andreas saw them.

I do have a Burning question on my mind, namely Karl's hat. Does the spoon and the red color combo hold any symbolism for something?

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

The spoon in Karl's hat is a reference to a painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder called The Peasant Wedding. The man on the right carrying the tray behind him has a spoon in his hat. This was also referenced in The Return of Martin Guerre (film) by a character who wore a spoon in his hat.

The Return of Martin Guerre film is killing me. Tearing at my heart. Martin and Bertrande go to bed and he wakes to Pierre claiming she'd signed Martin's arrest warrant. Fuck.

Back on my Fake Cyrano Musical bullshit for a minute--I've always thought it would be really fun to have a song with the members of Roxanne's household, including Ragueaneau and her Duenna, offering their outside perspective on the situation. They gossip about the letters Roxanne's been receiving, recite choice bits that they remember and offer commentary on them, and speculate on the kind of man Christian must be. Maybe Roxanne herself appears briefly with another letter to read, which sets the gossip train off again at full steam. You'd get to develop the relationships in the Robin household, both between the servants themselves and with Roxanne, and provide some levity before things get serious again.

Ha muerto Natalie Zemon Davis (1928-2023), una de mis grandes memorias de mis años de estudiante de historia fue la lectura de "El regreso de Martin Guerre".

A través de los años estos tres libros se convirtieron en algunos de mis favoritos.

¡Qué la tierra le sea leve y su nombre sea una bendición!
