best "palate cleanser" books?
I'm reading in search of lost time but I'd like to slip something short and sweet in between its seven books to make sure I don't burn out, do you guys have any recommandations?

Any early Nabokov, something like The Defence

Marcel Aymé’s novel might do fine. See La Vouivre for instance

Buy a Stefan Zweig story collection and read a cozy 50 page novella
