The cookie that launched 4000+ pages (not a joke) |
My book group decided to tackle Proust's seven-volume
A La Recherche du Temps Perdu, usually translated as "In Search of Lost
Time," over the next two years. The idea is to space out the reading and
schedule multi-month breaks between volumes so we have time to read other
things in the meantime. For my part, I find the optimism required to schedule
anything out that far in advance quite admirable, and there's no way I'd read
this work on my own, so I decided to join in and see what the draw is...and,
of course, see how the original compares to Monty Python's classic All-England
Summarize Proust Competition.
