I posted it on April 25th, so I should have mentioned that it was gone.
But, at least we know there is this interesting film somewhere....and I will try to find out if it will be shown again this year.

Maybe someone from the de Young would know the director?

"And on Jan. 16 the (92nd Street Y) center will present a staged reading of Harold Pinter’s unfilmed 1972 screenplay based on Proust’s “Remembrance of Things Past,” which has never been publicly read or performed in the United States."

"Authors Elyane Dezon-Jones, Charles Dantzig and Daniel Levin Becker talk with Alexander Aciman about the imposing Proustian edifice and what it means to rework such canonical writing. In doing so they pose the question: in literature, how far can we go with the classics?

On the 100th anniversary of its original publication, Yale University Press introduces a landmark new edition of Proust’s masterpiece—impeccably revised and annotated by the foremost Proust scholar of our time.

YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS
is pleased to announce the publication of
Swann’s Way
In Search of Lost Time, Volume 1
Marcel Proust
Edited and Annotated by William C. Carter

A brilliantly revised and annotated edition of the first volume of the twentieth century’s most acclaimed novel.
One hundred years have passed since Marcel Proust published the first volume of what was to become a seven-volume masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time. In the intervening century his famously compelling novel has never been out of print and has been trans- lated into dozens of languages. English-language readers were fortunate to have an early and extraordinarily fine translation of the novel from Charles Kenneth Scott Moncrieff. With the passage of time, however, the need for corrections, revisions, and annotations to the Scott Moncrieff translation became apparent.
Esteemed Proust scholar William C. Carter celebrates the centen- nial of Swann’s Way (originally published on November 14, 1913) with a new, more accurate and illuminating edition of the first volume of In Search of Lost Time. Carter corrects previous translating missteps to bring readers closer to Proust’s intentions while also providing enlightening notes to clarify biographical, historical, and social contexts. Presented in a reader-friendly format alongside the text, these annotations will enrich and deepen the experience of Proust’s novel, immersing readers in the world of an unsurpassed literary genius.

WHY A NEW EDITION?
Drawing on his accumulated wisdom and insight, Carter— whose Marcel Proust: A Life and Proust in Love prompted Harold Bloom to declare him “Proust’s definitive biographer”— has carefully assessed and critiqued the various English- language translations of À la recherche du temps perdu and recognized both the strengths and weaknesses of the original English translation by Moncrieff. He has also discovered the extent to which subsequent revisions to Moncrieff’s work have, in their attempts to address certain weaknesses, introduced copious new problems and strayed, sometimes subtly and sometimes glaringly, much farther from Proust’s original than most English-language readers could have ever guessed.
Thus Yale’s edition of In Search of Lost Time presents the Moncrieff translation as revised by Carter, who preserves its brilliant overall achievement and corrects missteps in ways that do not undermine or overrule Proust but instead bring readers closer to Proust’s intentions—and sublime artistry—than ever before.
* * * * * **
MARCEL PROUST (1871–1922) was a French novelist, critic, and essayist best known for his monumental À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time; earlier translated as Remembrance of Things Past). It was published in seven parts between 1913 and 1927.
WILLIAM C. CARTER is University Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Alabama at Birmingham. Referred to as “Proust’s defin- itive biographer” by Harold Bloom, Carter is the author of landmark biographical works on Proust, including Marcel Proust: A Life and Proust in Love, both published by Yale University Press. He is cur- rently at work on subsequent volumes of the Yale annotated edition of In Search of Lost Time, to be published annually in coming years. He lives in Birmingham, AL.
William C. Carter is available for interview.

Advance Praise
“For William C. Carter, the dean of American Proust studies, to agree to do a new edition of the Scott Moncrieff translation of Swann’s Way is a coup for readers. . . . Carter’s very readable revision is wisely and discreetly annotated, and it offers as accurate a translation as possible. It is also
an unmitigated delight to read.”
—Allan H. Pasco, Hall Distinguished Professor, University of Kansas

“No one has grasped the interplay of Proust’s life and work better than William Carter. He has now applied that knowledge to the iconic but flawed translation of In Search of Lost Time by Charles Kenneth Scott Moncrieff, correcting Scott Moncrieff’s faults—his outright errors and his idiosyncratic Victorianisms—and providing essential notes to Proust’s many cultural references. The result is
a volume of enormous use to both first-time readers and those who are returning to Proust for further understand- ing and pleasure.”
—Harold Augenbraum, Editor, Collected Poems of Marcel Proust

Marcelita Swann | 1135 comments Fri 11/15, 5-7pm: Proustfest 2013 – The Swann's Way Centenary, Salon 2:
The Providence Athenaeum.
http://providenceathenaeum.org/progra...

Scholar and biographer Anka Muhlstein on her newest book, Monsieur Proust's Library.

"Reading was so important to Marcel Proust that it sometimes seems he was unable to create a personage without a book in hand. Everybody in his work reads: servants and masters, children and parents, artists and physicians, and the more sophisticated characters find it natural to speak in quotations. Proust made literary taste a means of defining personalities and gave literature an actual role to play in his novels. Muhlstein draws out these themes in Proust's work and life, providing not only a friendly introduction to the momentous In Search of Lost Time, but also exciting highlights of some of the finest work in French literature."

I was disappointed with Muhlstein's book. I wrote a review on it explaining why. I read the book before I started reading Proust. I may read it again and revisit my review after we are finished with Proust. My guess is that I will be more critical.

Marcelita Swann | 1135 comments Fri 12/6, 5-7pm, SALON: Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) Dean of Graduate Studies and musicologist Mary Davis on "Style-setting in the Salon," part 3 of "“The Cosmology of Conversation," a series on the history of the salon.

The Providence Athenaeum
http://providenceathenaeum.org/progra...

"Davis traces the evolution of the salon in Paris by focusing on a series of salons hosted on one street in Paris--the rue de Babylone--from the 19th century to the present day. From Thérésa Tallien, wife of the Revolutionary who was notorious for his zealous guillotining of opponents during the reign of terror; to the fin-de-siecle socialite Misia Sert, muse to Renoir, patron of Stravinsky, and best friend of Coco Chanel; to the now all-but-forgotten Mimi Pecci-Blunt, a fan of new music and of the avant-garde fashion designer Else Schiaparelli, the small street has seen a series of salons that set tastes on everything from literary fashions to clothing trends. Along the street, talk of music, arts, and letters still mingles with debate over politics and hemlines that drift out of the hôtels particuliers and apartments lining the way, and in looking at this small slice of Parisian life we open a window onto a larger culture founded in conversation and conviviality."

French Books USA Cultural Services of the French Embassy (FrenchBooksUSA) | 17 comments The Cultural Services of the French Embassy presents "2013: A Year with Proust", a centennial celebration to commemorate the first publication of Du Côté de chez Swann. The festival continues this fall with 2 very special events in New York City:

"Proust Inspires Fiction!" Oct. 28, Nov. 17 & 19
A series of roundtables which will gather contemporary French and American authors whose works in fiction are influenced by Proust.

For more info: http://frenchculture.org/books/events...

"A Nomadic Reading" Nov. 8-14
Traveling to a new location each night, the first volume of In Search of Lost Time will be read in 3-hour increments by French and American writers, artists, scholars, and Proust fans in venues all around NYC. Each location will echo the major themes of the night’s reading: a hotel bedroom, of course, for the famous opening pages, but also the forest of the botanical gardens for Proust's childhood countryside, a theatre, to evoke the writer's fascination with actors, and a nightclub, to recall Swann’s late-night searches for the unfaithful Odette. The 7th and final night, marking the exact date of the centennial, will be held at the French Embassy in New York.

Avec la directrice de la collection «Recherches proustiennes» aux Editions Champion, Annick Bouillaguet, il présentera Les Sens cachés de la Recherche, recueil d’essais traduits chez Classiques Garnier et écrits par Alberto Beretta Anguissola. Celui ci parlera de l’Italomanie chez Marcel Proust. Daria Galateria qui a rédigé avec lui l’appareil de notes pour l’édition des Meridiani, chez Mondadori, traitera du Bestiaire parricide dans la Recherche. Mariolina Bertini, auteur du livre sur Proust e la teoria del romanzo (1996), coéditeur du numéro spécial de «Francofonia» consacré à Swann, et des Morales de Proust, dernier numéro des «Cahiers de littérature française» coédité avec Antoine Compagnon, nous parlera de Natalia Ginzburg lectrice de Proust.
