The included essays and comments on Proust are far too short, but the arrangement of the interregnum's [I know, but I never took Latin, and it's an English word] makes this a useful introduction to Proust.
well, i haven't read proust. this book has excerpts(of 10,000 pages?)but i couldn't focus on it. all the writers really love and admire it but i couldn't relate. the book is divided into sections and this is interesting.
