Proust's novel is also an unforgiving analysis of both the decadent high society of Paris and the rise of a philistine bourgeoisie that is on the way to supplanting it. Characters who had lesser roles in earlier volumes now reappear in a different light and take center stage, notably Albertine, with whom the narrator believes he is in love, and the insanely haughty Baron de Charlus. 850515 1921 Sodom and Gomorrah: In Search of Lost Time, Volume 4 (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) total:393|5:229|4:99|3:57|2:7|1:1| 393 1727 770 39 35750 0375753109 9780375753107 50 7 4.39 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168634670m/35750.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35750.In_Search_of_Lost_Time_Volume_IV_Sodom_and_Gomorrah 5 3 false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 14:01:43 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 18:56:07 -0700 2009
Volume IV was good for me. It started off with a bang (ha, ha), and his absorption with how gays and lesbians fit into society got a little old, but on the whole I liked his forays into society better than at the end of Vol. III.
