About This Item
New York: W.W. Norton & Co., 2000. First Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. A pristine book. ".a superb lesson in how to read Proust.". "Winner of the National Book Award for Marcel Proust, a sweeping examination of Proust's life and works, Shattuck now offers a useful and eminently readable guidebook to Proust's epic masterpiece, and a contemplation of memory and consciousness throughout great literature. Here, Shattuck laments Proust's defenselessness against zealous editors, praises some translations, and presents Proust as a novelist whose philosophical gifts were matched only by his irrepressible comic sense. Proust's Way, the culmination of a lifetime of scholarship, will serve as the next generation's guide to one of the world's finest writers of fiction."--Norton. Shattuck leaves us not only with a deepened appreciation of Proust's great work but of all great literature as well. -- Richard Bernstein, New York Times
