Proust Among the Stars
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Columbia Univ Pr
- Publish date: 02/01/1999
"Proust Among The Stars" is a matchless close reading of Remembrance of Things Past and a lesson in how to read the great books profitably and pleasurably. Malcolm Bowie asserts that Proust's novel is one of the great exercises in speculative imagining in the world's literature; and that its originality lies first in the quality of Proust's textual invention, page after page, line after line. Proust's world constantly shimmers with a sense of multiple possibilities and is at the same time infused with the urge to order, obsessively to organize. Bowie examines how Proust achieves this in his writing, as opposed to his themes, plots, or theories.
An original, beautiful, and deeply moving book, "Proust Among The Stars" shows how Proust's work deepens our understanding of our lives and ourselves.
