  Amazon.ca: Proust Among the Stars: Books: Malcolm Bowie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Malcolm Bowie's Proust Among The Stars is one of the most appealing works of thematic criticism that I read in a long time.
By concentrating on specific themes such as Self, Time, Art, Politics and Sex, Bowie explains in great detail how Proust in his novel treats these topics in their sublime aspects, but at the same time how the sublime is given a human habitation as it were.
In his chapter on Sex, Bowie explains how Proust creates in his central protagonist someone who is "by turns a Lothario and a spoiled child, a visionary and a pathological case, a hero of the speculative intellect and a paragon of self-defeating folly".

 H-France Reviews
Malcolm Bowie states explicitly that this is "an introductory volume aimed principally at general readers rather than Proust scholars" (p.
Bowie points out that "one of the things that makes Proust's account of sex so compelling is precisely that sexual appetite is subject to displacement and endlessly transferable into other areas of human thought and behaviour.
Bowie's analysis of the Proustian treatment of death is powerful and elegant, and could not be more beautifully stated.

 Harvard University Press: Lacan by Malcolm Bowie
This is an astonishing feat of exposition, clear, judicious and economical in argument, and written with an elegance one would not have believed possible on so intractable a subject.
Having read Bowie, one can revisit Lacan buoyed up by the conviction that he is a psychoanalytical thinker absolutely worth tangling with, a genuine enlarger of the mind and not a fly-by-night showman.
Lacan is here thoroughly elucidated without being made simple, the elucidator having invested his intellectual all in being equally fair to the tortuosities of his subject and the needs of his readers.

Robert Schumann’s compositional investment in masques, doubles and revenants, mobilized by a taste for secrets and a curiosity for ever-changing alternatives shows that the essential pleasures to be gained from the uncanny lies in the creation of movement itself – the very stuff of which music is made.

Eventually it was Professor Michael Cherry who tossed the match into the fuel tank by asking Malcolm Bowie, life sciences curriculum designer for the National Education Department, when, exactly, would evolution be included in the school syllabus.
Today, nearly ten years later, those scientists and biology teachers are still waiting for clarity on how to approach evolution in the classroom.
Bowie was diplomatic in his response to Cherry's question.

Bought it off Amazon a couple of nights ago along with Malcolm Bowie's "Psychoanalysis and the Future of Theory" (Blackwell, 1993).
There was an interesting quotation from the Bowie in Sherringham's 'Everyday Life' comparing Freud and Heigegger's view of the everyday.
Now, I know it is the latter (Heidegger's) part that is the most relevant, compelling, interesting part - which Sherringham expands upon (and no doubt Bowie does too) but I love the first bit of this sentance "For Freud the everyday is the erotic force field in which the unconscious makes itself heard".

 proust
" Or take Malcolm Bowie's Proust among the Stars (1998), whose jacket copy promises that it "brings readers back to the pleasures of the text rather than to the caprices of biography." Yet "the pleasures of the text" are, of course, already there in the text.
Both Shattuck (a professor at Boston University) and Bowie (Oxford) have their merits.
Naturally one hesitates to pay too much attention to jacket copy, but then again Bowie's text is itself not entirely free of such overheated and borderline perplexing rhetoric.
