The strange M. Proust - the narrator, the author, and the
embodiment of A la Recherche du Temps perdu - is now so canonical a
writer that his very strangeness is easily overlooked. His book
made of other books, his epic composed of extraordinary miniatures,
his orderly structure where every law is subverted, his chronology
where time can be undone and his geography where places can
superimpose: in these, and many other ways, Proust continues to
astonish even readers who have engaged with him for their entire
careers. In this book, arising from the Princeton symposium of
2006, major critics come together to offer provocative readings of
a work which is at the same time classical and unusual, French and
foreign, familiar and strange. The book is dedicated to the memory
of Malcolm Bowie (1943-2007), whose keynote address was one of his
last major lectures. Other contributors include David Ellison, Anne
Simon, Eugene Nicole, Joseph Brami, Raymonde Coudert, Christie
McDonald, Michael Wood and Antoine Compagnon.
