Although autobiographical, Proust employs suspense and the observation of minutiae to illustrate our own subjective existence. 2826047 27 8 1982 Remembrance of Things Past: Volume II - The Guermantes Way & Cities of the Plain (Vintage) total:187|5:122|4:45|3:15|2:4|1:1| 187 844 329 16 28395 0394711831 9780394711836 187 16 4.51 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167946477m/28395.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28395.Remembrance_of_Things_Past_Volume_II_The_Guermantes_Way_Cities_of_the_Plain 5 38 false Fri Jun 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 17:35:27 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 12:22:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 28395 0394711831 9780394711836 187 16 4.51 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167946477m/28395.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28395.Remembrance_of_Things_Past_Volume_II_The_Guermantes_Way_Cities_of_the_Plain 4 2 false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 05 07:37:06 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 05 07:39:16 -0700 2007 28395 0394711831 9780394711836 187 16 4.51 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167946477m/28395.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28395.Remembrance_of_Things_Past_Volume_II_The_Guermantes_Way_Cities_of_the_Plain 4 1 false Sat Apr 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jan 14 14:40:55 -0800 2009 Sat Apr 11 08:34:42 -0700 2009 2 Swann's Way and Time Regained, I'm not sure most readers could manage to wade through the intermediary books once, let alone a second time.
