Finally made it to Swann in Love!

I love the child’s perspective and descriptions of Combray in the second section. I’m a little sad to see things switching over to Swan’s affair.

I have so many thoughts and feelings about the ending of this section and Proust’s beautiful prose. I’ll come back to it later!

Just chugging along

Made it to Combray II! I’ve been reading it slowly so far. I’m enjoying the way that Proust talks about memory and time. I was moved by the idea of time travelling in your sleep. Also, the idea of objects taking on the spirits of dead loved ones, reviving your memories of them.

Other notes:
-Pages upon pages of Freudian mommy issues
-I don’t understand the references to 19th century France class system lol
