This is Marcel Proust. Let's discuss the legacy of this genius writer. What do you think of him and In Search of Lost Time?

One of the greatest if not the greatest works. Deals with death, jealousy, love (or desire, possession), and if it only dealt with those three things it'd be the best but it talks of everything in life and Proust has about 1,000 analogies for you because he's Schopenhauer's inherent in that sense except he takes the philosophy and psychology and applies it to everyday life just like Sch said a novel should do. The influence is obvious. It's been noted by scholars. Clear, precise, fondness for analogy, idealism, the obssession with the demon that is the sexual impulse. Seriously, if you have any experience at all with men and women and family then read Proust.

It is a great work.
Don’t forget art which is his epiphany.


Love is an answer to death, jealousy is a side effect of love.

Good call. SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS DONT READ THIS OR THE GHOST OF PROUST WILL HAUNT YOU WITH THE WAY HE SITS AND RESTS HIS CHIN IN HIS PALM THINKING ABOUT YOUR PHYSIOGNOMY AND DRAFTING HIS MATERIAL FOR THE NEXT LIFE IN WHICH YOU WILL BE SOMEONE WHO HASNT READ HIS TISSOT SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS. Great that art worked out for him seeing that society and love did not. When it all comes together, the generations, through that young girl at the end... And his thesis on art! MMM MMM MM MM, okay spoilers are done: pick this is as your one book to re-read everyone who is reading my post. No spoilers could ruin it though it slightly takes away from those goosebump moments at the end of every long chapter where Proust just fucking nails the head in your brain coffin like he liked nails to be nailed into rat’s assholes so that he could get off. READ YOUR TISSOT AND THEN SEE WHAT WAGNER SAID ABOUT NIETZSCHE BEING TRUE BUT HEY THEY WERE MARTYRS LIKE DFW AND HYDE!
