Proust is hilarious in a very different sort of way.

Have any anons read that new translation of Jozef Czapski's 'Lectures on Proust in a Soviet Prison Camp'? I'm about a thousand pages into the big work itself, and I'm unsure if I should pause to read the lectures. As silly as it sounds, I don't want to get "spoiled".

Good timing. I just finished Swann's Way.

I absolutely love Proust, lads.

Proust is both a joy to read in the moment and intellectually challenging. Not only in the philosophical ideas and elaborate psychological studies he puts forth, but also in the way he uses his great knowledge of art and music to infuse the text with highly relevant references; enough to send me digging among the works of certain artists or composers.
