I have begun reading Proust again and find the prose so different. Reading these books will surely change your life. I am not sure if it is what he says, or the massive amount of prose that he exposes your brain to. Perhaps it is just his unusual ability to discern detail and thus expose your brain to another way of thinking or seeing would be more accurate. I see into other books, stripped away the text becomes open and the direction of the writing and plot easily assimilated. If, at this moment, I had to name only three authors that even come close to Proust those two would be Kawabata, and Gogol.
I think I will look for a forum about reading Proust. I would be interested to see what else is said about the experience of reading. I must remember to stay in touch with my process and not become distracted or discouraged by the negative or disheartened individuals who may be there in the cloud of communication.
On the mechanics of blogging, I have found that through keeping this blog I would like to expand my blogging efforts to encompass my personal life. I have been well pleased that no one reads this so though the blog is out in the cloud no one comes here so I have privacy. Yea! What I had always hoped for a forum without the public. Customer service be dammed. Go jump and leave and look not back at me I am in my prose forever free.
