    About Author

    1. Marcel Proust Terence Kilmartin Andreas Mayor D.J. Enright says:
      French novelist, best known for his 3000 page masterpiece la recherche du temps perdu Remembrance of Things Past or In Search of Lost Time , a pseudo autobiographical novel told mostly in a stream of consciousness style Born in the first year of the Third Republic, the young Marcel, like his narrator, was a delicate child from a bourgeois family He was active in Parisian high society during the 80s and 90s, welcomed in the most fashionable and exclusive salons of his day However, his position there was also one of an outsider, due to his Jewishness and homosexuality Towards the end of 1890s Proust began to withdraw and from society, and although he was never entirely reclusive, as is sometimes made out, he lapsed completely into his lifelong tendency to sleep during the day and work at night He was also plagued with severe asthma, which had troubled him intermittently since childhood, and a terror of his own death, especially in case it should come before his novel had been completed The first volume, after some difficulty finding a publisher, came out in 1913, and Proust continued to work with an almost inhuman dedication on his masterpiece right up until his death in 1922, at the age of 51.Today he is widely recognised as one of the greatest authors of the 20th Century, and la recherche du temps perdu as one of the most dazzling and significant works of literature to be written in modern times.

      Longtemps I asked myself if, instead of reading Marcel Proust on my Kindle, I shouldn t have bought physical books to read in my bed to perhaps be an inch closer to his conditions while he was writing his masterpiece, as having a cork lined bedroom proved to be impossible this year Each time I started and finished a volume, I would again ask myself if I should get a paperback edition instead However, as I had already all seven volumes digitally, and I knew such a big commitment of reading weekly [...]

      My clearest memory of reading Swann s Way consists of pouring over one of the large illustrations, softly colored and darkly lit and so much interesting than the Biomaterials lecture I was sitting in, an aisle edged seat that necessitated swift cover ups from the professor s gaze as well as ensured a swift getaway at the ring of the bell Now, I am at the close of eleven months on, than three hundred miles away from the beginning and likely to never join in on such a high and mighty science lec [...]

      You made it After 2000 some odd pages, you made it to the end of La Recherche Your reward is a breath taking description of Paris under falling bombs during WW I, one of the most incredible passages that Proust ever wrote, La Bal des Masques The Masked Ball , and an end to the most incredible literary voyage ever attempted by an author He, like Mozart and Bach, literally died with the pen in his hand finishing his blessed cahiers notebooks in a race against death It is a perfect ending to one of [...]

      A work of art is experienced as a temporal, durational phenomenon It is also an object of physicality, something that is reacted upon and reproduced by our senses and processed, firstly, by our intellect Therefore a work of art is an object of space time, as it contains within itself dimension and duration, properties availing themselves of our immediate sensory perceptions and our ruminative, reflective abilities at the same instant If an image especially strikes us as it is burned onto the mem [...]
