#VendrediLecture Découvrir #MarcelProust "Sur la Lecture" sur un plaisir partagé, des souvenirs d'enfance, d'adolescence, de jeunesse. Un écrivain qui sait faire des phrases ! Longues, belles, musicales, enlevées... Hâte de me plonger dans sa bibliographie.
Le texte est disponible en ligne sur un site web consacré à l'auteur : https://marcelproust.org/ressources/surlalecture.html

In reality, every reader, as he reads, is actually the reader of himself. The writer’s work is only a kind of optical instrument he provides the reader so he can discern what he might never have seen in himself without this book. The reader’s recognition in himself of what the book says is the proof of the book’s truth.
[En réalité, chaque lecteur est quand il lit le propre lecteur de soi-même. L'ouvrage de l'écrivain n'est qu'une espèce d’instrument optique qu'il offre au lecteur afin de lui permettre de discerner ce que sans ce livre il n’eût peut-être pas vu en soi-même. La reconnaissance en soi-même, par le lecteur, de ce que dit le livre, est la preuve de la vérité de celui-ci.]Marcel Proust (1871-1922) French author

How Do You Know That You Love Somebody? Philosopher Martha Nussbaum’s Incompleteness Theorem of the Heart’s Truth, from Plato to Proust
https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.themarginalian.org/2026/03/28/martha-nussbaum-loves-knowledge/

Congratulations, raising my virtual glass in your direction! I do so across continents, and across time as well ..., since my own reading of the book was many decades ago, as a young student. I have re-read selected parts from individual volumes, but never found the right mental frame to do the full second round. Perhaps this year!
It will be strange: revisiting the text and experiencing its circular nature, and at the same time facing the "having passed" of much of my own lifetime. Bits that the young Roamer read as an advance notice, the current Roamer may recognise from his own life, or he'll realise he misunderstood them all those years ago, or he may think them wrong. (Master Marcel won't mind.) I will give it a go this year.

Such a long but entrancing journey ... eight months later, I've happily met the #InSearchofLostTime reading challenge. #Proust #MarcelProust #TranslatedLiterature

I read all of it as a young man. It meant a lot to me. Later I routinely picked up one volume or another and read a few sections. Each time that was a naturally enjoyable reading experience, meeting the mood of the moment. Not a forced exercise to prove something to myself.
One day I hope to re-read the entire series, one more time.
The Recherche creates a world and a society and a way of responding to others and to ourselves, at once unique and historically specific and universal.
The obvious danger is to treat it as too big a thing and then never do it. Looking at your question, I'd say yes, absolutely, read "a little Proust".
I'd just give the first volume a try, a cheap paperback stuffed into your coat pocket, read it on the train or in a sandwhich bar at lunchtime, a few pages at a time. If you don't like it, no big deal. If you do like it, finish Vol I. And if you _really_ like it, hell, you can even move on to Vol II!
Have fun!

A vélo, le soleil dans les yeux. Ébloui, une sensation que je retrouvai avec le plus grand plaisir ce lundi matin. La semaine s’annonce à nouveau perturbée, profitons-en.
Retour de la pluie ce mardi matin. L’accalmie aura été de très courte durée. Il fait autour de 2°C et le trajet à vélo se fera sous une faible pluie qui semble proche de la neige fondue.
Ce mercredi matin je suis […]

France24: The Bright Side: French National Library launches appeal for Proust’s ‘madeleine’ manuscripts. “France’s National Library launched a public appeal to raise 7.7 million euros ($9.1 million) to buy hundreds of unpublished documents penned by Marcel Proust, including writings concerning the famous madeleine cake that triggered an outpouring of the author’s childhood memories.”

Your "Proust Said That" zines.
Wow. What a wonderful project. If he were to hold one of your zines in his hands, I imagine that Marcel the snob might be slightly bemused, but I am certain that Marcel the observer of the imperceptible would be captivated. Bravo!

L’image de brume entre les phrases de Nerval vient de #MarcelProust : « … ce n’est pas dans les mots, ce n’est pas exprimé, c’est tout entre les mots, comme la brume d’un matin de Chantilly. » #Eco en tirait son « effetto nebbia » qu’on ressentit à la fois au niveau spatial que temporel : la réalité devient incertaine, une désorientation comme en franchissant le « seuil matinal où l'on s'éveille lentement, et où les premières réflexions conscientes se confondent avec les dernières lueurs des rêves. » En dépit de ses conférences sur « Sylvie » à Bologne, Columbia et Harvard et une cinquantaine de relectures Eco prétend n’avoir jamais percé le brouillard.

"Eine Stunde ist nicht einfach nur eine Stunde, sie ist ein Gefäß voller Düfte und Klänge, Pläne und Atmosphären."
Marcel Proust - (übersetzt von Bernd-Jürgen Fischer)
"Es ist eine Eigenart der Zeit, dass sie später so kompakt erscheint, als ein unteilbarer, massiver Gegenstand, als eine Speise mit nur einem Geruch und nur einem Geschmack."
Cees Nooteboom - (übersetzt von Hans Herrfurth)

Golly. Every sentence in Proust's Recherche ending with LOL? Concept Art indeed.
I'm in two minds. Part of me regards it as true blasphemy, worthy of the most stringent penalties, ... and part of me applauds a stroke of genius --- a simple twist that reveals another layer of the text, a piercing of pomposity that leaves the core intact.
I am willing to let that tension stay for a while.
