Vicki ZieglerSuch a long but entrancing journey ... eight months later, I've happily met the #InSearchofLostTime reading challenge. #Proust #MarcelProust #TranslatedLiterature
the roamerCongratulations, raising my virtual glass in your direction! I do so across continents, and across time as well ..., since my own reading of the book was many decades ago, as a young student. I have re-read selected parts from individual volumes, but never found the right mental frame to do the full second round. Perhaps this year!
It will be strange: revisiting the text and experiencing its circular nature, and at the same time facing the "having passed" of much of my own lifetime. Bits that the young Roamer read as an advance notice, the current Roamer may recognise from his own life, or he'll realise he misunderstood them all those years ago, or he may think them wrong. (Master Marcel won't mind.) I will give it a go this year.
