Bud Smith’s Reviews > The Guermantes Way > Status Update

There’s been some fantastic sections so far in Volumes 1, 2, and now 3 of Proust’s long novel. The part I just read, an unbroken narrative that stays with Proust’s grandmother, at the beginning of part 2 of Guermantes Way—yeah, that’s the great stuff. That’s the ceiling of what literature can do/why to write about one’s own life and family.
