BookishMarginalia @dabbe 🫶🏼How would it be to say that you are visiting page 22 for a while? That would be a very Proustian way of looking at it! 2d

dabbe @BookishMarginalia You are too kind! I really believe we are going to get the tour of all tours with these. A whole page and a half spent on describing lime tea? Wow. BTW, I made it to page 62 yesterday! 😍 17h

Paintings in Proust: a visual companion to In search of lost time | Eric Karpeles

This book is lovely! Basically it is reproductions of the artworks mentioned by Proust —in the order they appear in the novels!— with a brief contextualizing summary and the pertinent quote from the book. Home run! #Proust2026

Daisey That‘s a fantastic companion read! 4d

Leftcoastzen Very cool!😎 3d

Andrea313 Wow! I'm going to need to get this. 3d

Dilara That is such a good idea for a book (or a website!) 3d

AnnCrystal 😍🎨💝. 3d

AnneCecilie I should have had this when I read Proust. But are all the art work mentioned in Proust real? A lot of art mentioned in book 3 is by a fictional character/ artist 3d

BookishMarginalia @AnneCecilie That‘s a good question. There‘s enough real references to warrant this book, beyond that, 🤷🏻‍♀️🤓 3d

How Proust Can Change Your Life | Alain de Botton

pick

Gently humorous short book on how Proust viewed topics like suffering, expressing emotions, being a friend, seeing beauty in ordinary things, etc. Very readable.

How Proust Can Change Your Life | Alain de Botton

I am still not actually reading Proust but books that refer to it. Also I am trying to learn some French in case I can do it that way, but I like the language anyway since English is so much made from it.

DrSabrinaMoldenReads I fell in love with his books 1mo

In Search of Lost Time: Swann's Way: A Graphic Novel | Marcel Proust

pick

It has great art and gives a pretty good idea of what the first book in Proust‘s epic novel is about. Time and memory and lost chidhood and people known and what love is about. Not sure if I will read the whole thing. Anyone read it?

Dilara I did: 3 decades ago when I was pregnant & at home with free time. I loved Swann's Way. I liked the first half of La recherche better than the later books. It makes sense to read the whole thing because it's built as a whole, with the second half mirroring the first, but at the time I found getting to the end a bit of a slog because, inevitably given its construction, it became a bit repetitive, and its presentation of homosexuality was dated. 4mo

KCofKaysville @Dilara Thanks. I may just read the first one, Swann‘s Way, since I have a copy. 4mo

AnneCecilie I have and finished a couple of years ago. My favorites was the first book and the third book. The first book had a lot of references to different places in Paris and I love Paris. The third book focused more on art. 4mo

Dilara @KCofKaysville Let us know how it goes! 😁 4mo

KCofKaysville @AnneCecilie Thanks for the comment! 4mo

CarolynM I read it a long time ago, but I didn‘t make it all the way through, I gave up somewhere in the 5th book when I got really irritated with Marcel. I enjoyed the first 4, though. 4mo

KCofKaysville @CarolynM I may just stick with the first one! Thanks. 4mo

In Search of Lost Time: Swann's Way: A Graphic Novel | Marcel Proust

Started a graphic novel of Proust. This will help me know if I should read the whole series or not or give me a taste of it.

Tkimsal I almost purchased this a few times. Will look for your review. 5mo

KCofKaysville @Tkimsal I found it at a local Library. Was thinking there may be a graphic novel on Proust and there was! (edited) 5mo
