The second half he spent in the creation of the mighty roman-fleuve that is <i>Remembrance of Things Past</i>, memorializing his own dandyism and parvenu hijinks even as he revealed their essential hollowness. Proust begins, of course, at the beginning--with the earliest childhood perceptions and sorrows. Then, over several thousand pages, he retraces the course of his own adolescence and adulthood, democratically dividing his experiences among the narrator and a sprawling cast of characters. Who else has ever decanted life into such ornate, knowing, wrought-iron sentences? Who has subjected love to such merciless microscopy, discriminating between the tiniest variations of desire and self-delusion?

Proust being Proust he uses a scale of time and detail that is more in keeping with the pace of real life--which has its tedious aspects--but that scale seems to make the transitions of the characters seem natural even though he exaggerates their abrup...more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun May 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jan 14 14:38:42 -0800 2009 Mon May 25 06:51:59 -0700 2009 2 Remembrance of Things Past!
