<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Now in paperback, this illuminating work serves as both an introduction to Proust--perhaps Europe's most enduring 20th-century novelist--and a searching reinterpretation of his work, particularly the masterpiece "In Search of Lost Time".<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>For any reader who has been humbled by the language, the density, or the sheer weight of Marcel Proust's <em>In Search of Lost Time</em>, Roger Shattuck is a godsend. Winner of the National Book Award for Marcel Proust, a sweeping examination of Proust's life and works, Shattuck now offers a useful and eminently readable guidebook to Proust's epic masterpiece, and a contemplation of memory and consciousness throughout great literature. Here, Shattuck laments Proust's defenselessness against zealous editors, praises some translations, and presents Proust as a novelist whose philosophical gifts were matched only by his irrepressible comic sense. <em>Proust's Way</em>, the culmination of a lifetime of scholarship, will serve as the next generation's guide to one of the world's finest writers of fiction.
