Pinter Reads Proust. Pinter produces Proust.

Drat!  I had no idea there would be a Pinter/Proust performance at the 92nd St. Y last week.  It's not all that difficult to nip down to the Big Apple from Foxborough, and there's a friend with a sleeper  sofa!  Oh, she was actually visiting us.  Well,  crap.  Anyhow I missed it.

Here's a fun write up, that even mentions Monty Python's Summarize Proust contest. 

Pinter and Proust   This is a good article both for Proust and Pinter fans.

100 Years of Everything Proust

In spite of the 100th anniversary of the first volume of Proust, Swann's Way,  relatively little in the way of anything new has come across my desk or  via the computer as it were.  Nonetheless, a new articles for  you to peruse.

Here is one.  Proust as Wizard: Look Out Harry Potter!                          

The Nation has wisely been following Proust for almost 100  years.  What other publication can make that boast?
