After the often humorous account of the chance encounter of Jupien & #deCharlus (I think one of #literature’s monsters), then the #hermaphroditism metaphor, the narration turns to the odious #Guermantes’ soirée. I just want to note (subjectively) that this passage is akin to a #stilllife/naturalemorte. The #Dreyfus affair holds this part together. One might say ‘animates’ the treatment. But it is a characteristically well-worked still/life of the 3e #République.
