Not that anyone reads here, yea, but I have been reading and writing. I have read the first book again on my iTouch and still continue with the second. So much more makes sense on the second reading, the story has finally come together in my mind and I understand what Proust is getting at. The interconnection between the various characters, their relationships and the bridges between the story, blossom as you see why time and structure are so very critical to this book and series. The whole plot shifts away from the simple introduction of the narrator, encompasses Swann, and returns to the comments and the life of the narrator as the book ends. A fascinating comment on time and a beautiful structure.

Facebook and Proust

I find that reading Proust and interacting with Facebook to be difficult as the very issues that Proust comments on and asks us to think about are rife throughout the superficial interactions on Facebook.
