Remembrance of Things Past Volume One: Swann's Way
|
I started to read this book several years ago - and ever since Monty Python's "Summarising Proust" sketch I guess the novels have been on my "ought to read" list. The reason for starting now is - surprisingly - Radio 3. The new playlist is "Music that Transports" and was described as a sort of 'musical madeleine' - which confused me somewhat until I searched and discovered that the madeleine was a trigger for memories in Proust's writing. If you have read any of my blog entries (for example A New Musical Memory) then you will have realised that this is, in fact, a rather topical subject - I therefore feel the need to finally persevere with this book. |
