"It is part of Flaubertian genious to prefer an event's reflection in consciousness to the event itself, to prefer the dream of passion to real passion, to substitute for action the absence of action and for every presence the void. It is not the event which contracts under Flaubert's hands but what is between the events, those stagnant expanses where all movement is vibrationless and immoblished."
Jean Rousset, "Madame Bovary or the Book About Nothing"
