I attempted a read of the first volume last year but could only make it 2/3 of the way through. He lost me in the Swann in Love section, which felt like it devolved into trivial leisure class intrigue and drivel. The first part about memory and time was incredible but I wasn’t sure if it was worth persevering past the second part. I love the quote from someone I can’t remember about those who read Proust are either in bed with a broken leg or are quite ill. Hope the class goes well!
dudee i LOVE proust but i can only stomach a little bit at a time—made my last real effort two years ago and made it about halfway before losing focus and burning out… it felt a little bit like hiking halfway up Everest only to turn back, i’ll need to return to it at some point
Deep into the second volume and loving it. The plot is not as difficult to follow as I thought it'd be but even if it was, the experience of reading Proust's words and descriptions is enriching. Let me pull up to the class.
