Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Saul Friedländer revisits Marcel Proust's masterpiece in a reexamination of In Search of Lost Time, exploring literature, memory, and the question of identity--that of the novel's narrator and Proust's own.
What The Reviewers Say
... brief but haunting.
... charmingly ramshackle.
Friedländer reads In Search of Lost Time very much against the grain, alert not only to the pleasures of its prose and its psychological acuities and metaphysical masteries, but even more so to its many contradictions and moral ambiguities.
Pulitzer-winning Holocaust historian Friedländer (The Years of Extermination) meditates on the 'extraordinary pull' and hidden depths of Marcel Proust’s À la recherche du temps perdu in this intriguing extended essay.
