	Proust, Marcel. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Proust’s semiautobiographical novel cycle is superficially concerned with its hero’s development through childhood and through youthful love affairs to the point of commitment to literary endeavor.
		In Proust’s scheme the individual is isolated, society is false and ruled by snobbery, and artistic endeavor is raised to a religion and is superior to nature.
		Proust’s ability to interpret innermost experience in terms of such eternal forces as time and death created a profound and protean world view and his work has influenced generations of novelists and thinkers.

		Proust was born in Paris, the son of a famous doctor.
		Proust's multifaceted vision is enthralling: he is both drastic satirist and the nanoscopic analyst of introspective consciousness; explorer of nuances of human sexuality and ethical wisdom writer; crucially, he is the creator of unforgettable major (more than 40) characters who are growing and corroding in the river of Time.
		Proust died in 1922 and is buried in the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris.

		In the case of Marcel Proust, the task is complicated by the subject's own hostility to the genre; in his essay "Contre Sainte-Beuve," Proust argued that writers should be judged by their books and not by the facts of their life.
		There is something unsettling about reading Proust for the first time: the extravagantly-long sentences, the concentration on emotion and aesthetic experience, the depth of perception he invests in his characters, and the extended attention he pays to their everyday conversations and experiences.
		Proust's world is so all-encompassing, and his style is so poetic and distinctive, that he creates a desire in the reader to learn French just to savor his creativity in its original power, and to visit France to see first-hand the places which excited his extraordinary descriptions.

	Marcel Proust
		Proust is an impressionist, Proust loves his "living ego" which is not particularly whole and well constructed in itself but, on the contrary, shifting, capricious and occasionally morbid.
		This is why, for Proust, the whole, finished structure only has meaning in so far as it brings order to a series of isolated moments, or, occasionally, to whole systems of moments, but it has no aim in itself.
		Proust's style - with its cloudy, colloidal, honeyed consistency and extraordinarily aromatic sweetness - is the only medium fitted to induce tens of thousands of readers to join you enthusiastically in reliving your not particularly significant life, recognising therein some peculiar significance and surrendering themselves to this long drawn out pleasure with undisguised delight.

	Marcel Proust
		MARCEL PROUST was born in Auteuil in 1871.
		Marcel Proust documented his existence so lavishly--albeit in fictional form--that many of his biographers have functioned as little more than code-breakers, doggedly translating art back into life.
		Proust's substantial reputation as an extreme case of something - longwindedness, psychological vivisection, the snobbery of letters, salvation by memory - rests not on wide readership but on a myth of uniqueness defended by a dedicated few.

		Marcel Proust was born to wealthy bourgeois parents on July 10, 1871, in Auteuil, a suburb of Paris.
		In the meantime, Proust was creating a name for himself in high society as a brilliant conversationalist with an ear for speech patterns that enabled him to mimic others with devastating ease and accuracy.
		But Proust was primarily concerned with portraying not reality but its perception by his narrator, Marcel, and its capacity to provoke and reveal Marcel's permanent self, normally hidden by habit and social intercourse.

	Books & Reading: Book Reviews
		Proust's simultaneous status as an outsider and an insider – White calls him a "playboy-monk" – enabled him to create his masterpiece.
		At times, Proust was remarkably open about his affairs, and no one who knew him thought he was heterosexual, though in some ways he was extremely closeted.
		After the novelist Jean Lorrain implied in print that he was gay, Proust challenged him to a duel; they fired their pistols symbolically into the air and went on about their business.

		By now Proust is perhaps the least mysterious of writers, blessed with several good biographies and many excellent studies (helpfully noted in White's bibliography); but while White claims that his work owes "everything" to the most recent of Proust's biographers, Jean-Yves Tadie, no one can match White's sensibility or his sympathy for the subject.
		Proust was the first writer to write extensively about homosexuality, both male and female, but maintained a façade of heterosexuality to those who did not know him well.
		Proust was a good writer, but White made a horrible work, calling Proust gay all the time and leaving the facts to the underground.

		Her speech, entitled "In Bed with Proust", described the intimate details of Proust's living quarters and how the elements of the room symbolized what made up the eccentric traits of the famed author.

	Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time, vol. 5: The Prisoner (translated by Carol Clark), La Prisonière,
		Marcel goes home, suffering torments of jealousy because he has learned that Albertine has been lying to him about her friendships with some notorious lesbians.
		Time and again, Proust tells us of tragi-comic love affairs, in which the male (Swann, Marcel, St. Loup, and now again Marcel) spends his time, emotion, and wealth upon a female (Odette, Gilberte, Rachel, and now Albertine) who couldn't care less for him, and for the most part is in it only for the money.
		If Marcel's sweetie were a man, and Marcel weren't an effective lover, then the beloved might well regret hanging around the apartment night after night, when he could go out and get himself properly buggered.

		Proust spent his early writing career savouring salon society and experimenting with autobiography, criticism and imitation (he wrote pastiches of Balzac, Flaubert and others for Le Figaro).
		Often cited and seldom finished, he draws mixed responses: Henry James characterised reading Proust as "inconceivable boredom associated with the most extreme ecstasy which it is possible to imagine"; Joseph Conrad bluntly saw "no emotion" in it, while Virginia Woolf had a momentary fear that Proust had achieved all that was possible in the novel.
		Edmund White's slim introduction deals well with Proust's sexuality (and contains the fascinating gem that Proust donated his parents' furniture to a male brothel); the long-awaited Marcel Proust: A Life by Jean-Yves Tadié, editor of the Pleiade edition of Remembrance, is backed up by impressive research.
