Last night, before going to sleep, I read the passage in "Swann's Way" where he eats the tea soaked madeleine and his psychic world explodes. Can't wait to get home from work today and reread it to my family.

“Someone had indeed had the happy idea of giving me, to distract me on evenings when I seemed abnormally wretched, a magic lantern…” (p9) #AContinuation25 #SwannsWay research.lib.buffalo.edu/proust/art-s...

Loveless is the ideal soundtrack for In Search of Lost Time. #proust #mbv #loveless #swannsway #marcelproust #insearchoflosttime #mybloodyvalentine #shoegaze

I'm not sure if I'd really want to see a play or a movie of proust, it's the ultimate reading experience really

Confession: I remember Frank,the preeminent #Proust scholar in the US,every time I read #SwannsWay. I'd love to pick his brain!😳
Confesión: ¿Acordarme de Frank,el mayor experto en Proust en US,cada vez que leo y querer preguntarle cositas es estar enfermita? 😳

#Proust, #ProustBeforeIDie When Swann and the princess chat at the party, I feel like I know them--which, of course, is the point. Making jokes that only the important people get--usually at someone else's expense--seems a poor form of entertainment. And yet this party scene? So good.
