Memoirs of a Madman is an autobiographical text written by Gustave Flaubert in 1838. The next year, Flaubert offered it to his friend, Le Poittevin. The manuscript changed hands twice before being finally published in La Revue Blanche from December 1900 to February 1901, some twenty years after Flaubert's death.
