Still reading up a storm about Swann and Odette and the Vinteiul Sonata. I've been listening to the Saens-Saens Sonata which is reputed to have inpsired Proust, and I think I've identified the "little phrase" but I really need to sit down and just listen to the music without distractions. The narrator never mentions what the Verdurin's serve for dinner. Hmmmm.
The thing is, with a whole nightstand full of books, I still pick up Proust regularly.
Odette
Proust and his masterpiece, Remembrance of Things Past, will be my obsession, fixation, demon, cattle prod, hobby and motivator in 2007. Will reading Proust, thinking about the man and his milieu and his great novel inform my writing?
