"The Weather in Proust "gathers pieces written by the eminent
critic and theorist Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick in the last decade of her
life, as she worked toward a book on Proust. This book takes its
title from the first essay, a startlingly original interpretation
of Proust. By way of Neoplatonism, Buddhism, and the work of
Melanie Klein, Sedgwick establishes the sense of refreshment and
surprise that the author of the "Recherche" affords his readers.
Proust also figures in pieces on the poetry of C. P. Cavafy, object
relations, affect theory, and Sedgwick's textile art practices.
More explicitly connected to her role as a pioneering queer
theorist are an exuberant attack against reactionary refusals of
the work of Guy Hocquenghem and talks in which she lays out her
central ideas about sexuality and her concerns about the direction
of US queer theory. Sedgwick lived for more than a dozen years with
a diagnosis of terminal cancer; its implications informed her later
writing and thinking, as well as her spiritual and artistic
practices. In the book's final and most personal essay, she
reflects on the realization of her impending death. Featuring
thirty-seven color images of her art, "The Weather in Proust"
offers a comprehensive view of Sedgwick's later work, underscoring
its diversity and coherence.
