Pro Reviews: The Guermantes Way
In spite of his independent manner, Proust has managed to inspire his novel with the prudent technical virtues of suspense and unity. These signs of formal interest are what make 'Remembrance of Things Past' a novel, rather than mere rambling reminiscence....It is held together by a method analogous to that which unifies actual human experience, repetition of events, physical and mental.
Marcel Proust is perhaps the greatest psychological novelist of his generation....His lucidities are hidden. He does nothing at all to help you. If you would read him the effort must be yours. He does not descend even one step to meet you. He sits in a certain splendid isolation and demands that you come to him if you will.
Publisher Notes: The Guermantes Way
- Living in Paris with his family, Marcel becomes infatuated with the Duchess of Guermantes and, through his friend St.-Loup, her nephew, he attempts to make her acquaintance. His initiation into aristocratic society includes an introduction not only to its splendors but to its vices, including the homosexuality of the Baron de Charlus and the anti-Semitism surrounding the Dreyfus Case. (The Duchess refers to Zola as "the Homer of the sewers.") In another world entirely, Marcel's adored grandmother dies an agonizing death.
