Présentation de l'éditeur:
The strange M. Proust - the narrator, the author, and the embodiment ofA la Recherche du Temps perdu - is now so canonical a writer that hisvery strangeness is easily overlooked. His book made of other books,his epic composed of extraordinary miniatures, his orderly structurewhere every law is subverted, his chronology where time can be undoneand his geography where places can superimpose: in these, and manyother ways, Proust continues to astonish even readers who have engagedwith him for their entire careers. In this book, arising from thePrinceton symposium of 2006, major critics come together to offerprovocative readings of a work which is at the same time classical andunusual, French and foreign, familiar and strange. The book isdedicated to the memory of Malcolm Bowie (1943-2007), whose keynoteaddress was one of his last major lectures. Other contributors includeDavid Ellison, Anne Simon, Eugene Nicole, Joseph Brami, RaymondeCoudert, Christie McDonald, Michael Wood and Antoine Compagnon.
