Critique of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time

Portrait of French Novelist, Marcel Proust, 1871-1922

In Search of Lost Time, written between 1910-1920

Childhood darkens somberly mature while 1880 transitions to 1920. Time is only recoverable through the incidental sensation of the moment, reviving past memories. Dissimulation of complex personal secrets. Densest of books, sensitive universally: a psychedelic soap-opera. Nothing is what it seems: not-so-secretly advocates homosexuality. A true Swann Song: politely told.
