This week, in our leisurely, yet methodical, analysis of Proust's masterpiece "Remembrance of Things Past" / "In Search of Lost Time" we finish the first section "Combray" by looking at the most famous incident of the whole novel - the memories sparked by the taste of the biscuit/cake (the debate rages on) dipped in tea.
