A portrait of the prominent twentieth-century French writer is based on a wealth of primary material only recently made available and considers the intellectual and social universe that fed Proust's art.
Industry reviews
"An overwhelmingly comprehensive biography....Tadié excels at tracing the relationships between Proust and his many friends....He is less effective at recreating the atmosphere of the places in which Proust lived and traveled....Still, the definitive biography of Proust and an illuminating companion to his novels." Kirkus (06/15/2000) "Mr. Tadié's...biography [is] quite devoid of any compelling insight into Proust's character or work....[H]e has tried to avoid 'the tedium of anecdotes that are too specific'--a decidedly bizarre approach for any biographer, never mind one writing the life of an author whose entire work was grounded in a specificity of social and psychological detail.... Although Mr. Tadié has done a persuasive job of explicating the intellectual influences on Proust's work--from Balzac and Zola through Ruskin, Wagner and Carlyle--he has failed in this volume to give the reader an appreciation of REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST or the workings of the novelist's imagination." New York Times - Michiko Kakutani (09/05/2000)
