The Fourteen-Minute Marcel Proust: Everyone’s guide to the greatest novel ever written (Kindle Edition)

March 27th, 2010

The Fourteen-Minute Marcel Proust: Everyone's guide to the greatest novel ever written

Product Description

Today it’s called ‘In Search of Lost Time’. Early in the last century it was ‘Remembrance of Things Past’. Under whatever title, and whichever translator, Proust’s gargantuan novel has baffled American readers for more than eighty years. Over the course of a year, Daniel Ford tackled the recent and lovely Penguin/Viking editions, blogging on the internet as he read. He devotes a short chapter to each of the novel’s seven books, introducing it with a two-minute plot synoposis–thus the fourteen minutes of the title. More than that, he ruminates on one or more of its highlights, compares the Penguin/Viking translations with the classic ones based on the work of C. K. Scott Moncrieff, and–gotcha!–points to errors in the text or translation. About 7,500 words.
