A Reader's Guide to Proust's 'In Search of Lost Time'
Proust's 'A la recherche du temps perdu' (In Search of Lost Time) is many things at once: a novel of education, a portrait of French society during the Third Republic, a masterful psychological analysis of love, a reflection on homosexuality, an essay in moral and aesthetic theory, and, above all, one of the great literary achievements of the twentieth century.

It became fashionable at one point to affirm that…

Before his un-timely death in an automobile accident at age 46, Camus had achieved fame not only as a major innovator in prose style for his ground-breaking novels The Stanger, The Plague, and The Fall but also as dramatic author Caligula philos…
Proust and Kafka: On the Opening of Narrative Space
