Here is a review of the Proust movie, Time Regained. I actually saw this movie a few years ago in Harvard Square and thought that they did an excellent job considering how notoriously difficult filming Proust's work must be.
Read on.

The Cork-Lined Room
I really like The Cork-Lined Room. The discussion of Proust is excellent with its use of quotes and detail and yet is something every reader can follow--in other words its not too "academic."
Small confession: I used to be in the academic camp and somehow migrated to genre fiction where I'm not really at home either. A wanderer in the city of narrative.
The link to the post with wonderful reflections on Mme. Verdurin, Odette and Marcel is below:

What a cursor-full!
I always like to see how an author handles flowers.
