Ever been curious about all the fuss surrounding Proust's gargantuan novel? This is a weekly livestream series designed to make it as accessible as possible. It provides a close analysis of Proust's "In Search of Lost Time" discussing what makes it such a special piece of literature, how ahead of its time it was in terms of its psychological insight, and how reading it can provide great "textual healing" for the stresses of everyday life. #Proust #bookclub #literaryanalysis

This week we begin to pick up the pace. Stuart has expressed concern that, Moses-like, we may never get to see the Promised Land at this rate. I take fish-oil tablets so do not share his fear of mortality but it should be easier to cover more ground now we have discussed a lot of the key underlying themes to Proust's writing. Pages Covered: We go from the start of Combray II (page 48 Everyman edition, pg 55 - Carter Edition) and we will finish at the end of the paragraph that concludes with the phrase "I dare say, for a stockbroker" or "perhaps in a stockbroker" on page 99 or 114 depending upon your edition. #proust #rembranceofthingspast #insearchoflosttime #books #memory #literaryanalysis #persistenceofmemory
