Subtle reference to Proust. I like your style

In Search of Lost Time

easily

Just read some of Swann's Way if you don't want to tackle the whole thing just yet

works better if you imagine some cookies by the milk

About 230 pages into Swann's Way, is the entire In Search for Lost time going to be pretty descriptions of walking paths and mundane social scandals?

Your comment triggered a Proustian memory for me and I was send back to the 2000s for a brief moment.

Im going to jump right in to Proust, should Remembrance of Things Past be read all at once or can I take breaks in between each volume?

Which volume was the famous Madeleine passage from? Also is there a certain translator I should be looking for?

Can we start realizing that not everyone in history is going to subscribe to your personal modern beliefs and its fine to admire something from a detached view without taking its message seriously.

"Mais, quand d’un passé ancien rien ne subsiste, après la mort des êtres, après la destruction des choses, seules, plus frêles mais plus vivaces, plus immatérielles, plus persistantes, plus fidèles, l’odeur et la saveur restent encore longtemps, comme des âmes, à se rappeler, à attendre, à espérer, sur la ruine de tout le reste, à porter sans fléchir, sur leur gouttelette presque impalpable, l’édifice immense du souvenir.
Et dès que j’eus reconnu le goût du morceau de madeleine trempé dans le tilleul que me donnait ma tante (quoique je ne susse pas encore et dusse remettre à bien plus tard de découvrir pourquoi ce souvenir me rendait si heureux), aussitôt la vieille maison grise sur la rue, où était sa chambre, vint comme un décor de théâtre."

Real prose master coming through

I like the proust memes

Fuck off Joyce, nigga can't even take a full bong hit without coughing his lungs out unlike pic related Marcel (Drug induced) Proust

because he is a meme writer

All they need to read is À la recherche du temps perdu
