A Pulitzer Prize-winning historian revisits Marcel Proust''s masterpiece in this essay on literature and memory, exploring the question of identity.
This engaging re-examination of In Search of Lost Time considers how the narrator defines himself, how this compares to what we know of Proust himself, and what the significance is of these various points of commonality and divergence. We know, for example, that the author did not hide his homosexuality, but the narrator did. Why the difference? We know that the narrator tried to marginalise his part-Jewish background. Does this reflect the author''s position, and how does the narrator handle what he tries, but does not manage, to dismiss?
