Marcel Proust - Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit
Übersetzerin Eva Rechel-MertensDie Wonne langer Sätze erfahren. Dass sie einen wonniglich entlang gleiten lassen können wie auf einer Flussfahrt, auf der die Landschaft allmählich vorüberzieht und in aller Ruhe genossen werden kann. Bei Proust ist es die Erzählung, die man so in aller Muße erlesen darf.

Quite incredible.
OUP World Classics brings out a new translation of Proust's La Prisonnière, and it turns out that the translator (Andrew Rothwell) assembled his copy from fragments provided to him by a genAI tool. And he couldn'd even be bothered to tell the editor about it! The Way We Live Now.
Painfully strong Invasion of the Body Snatchers vibes. Who hasn't been turned around yet?
(Thank you for the link to the LitHub essay. An excellent piece of writing and nuanced reflection by Bryan Charles.)

re: last boost --- the article on Proust and machine/AI translation is really very good!
recommended if you are interested in Proust, translation, or digital scholarship. The AI piece is important but there's much more here.
Also, didn't know Oxford is producing a full edition of *Recherche* --- might be time to finally tackle the whole!
(Feels like a good Proustian moment in any case.)

Ich habe die Suche mal begonnen. Der Start ist schon sehr sympathisch, wenn ausführlich die sinnliche Wahrnehmung von Tee und Madeleines geschildert wird.

Mit 'Ulysses' verhält es sich doch wie mit der 'Joseph Trilogie' und 'Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit'. Steht bildungsbürgerlich im Regal rum, aber wer hat es gelesen?
Na?! Fingerchen hoch! -
“The fear of a future deprived of the faces and voices of those we love, those who today give us our dearest happiness, rather than diminishing, may in fact be made worse by the thought that the pain of that deprivation is to be compounded by something which at the moment seems even more unbearable: our no longer being affected by it as a pain, but being indifferent to it; for that would mean our actual self had changed”

James Joyce and Marcel Proust Meet for the First (and Only) Time
"... Joyce appeared after dinner, “shabby and drunk,” and made a beeline for the champagne. Not to be outdone, Proust arrived even later, sometime after 2AM, “elegantly furred but looking pale and sickly.” From there, accounts of the night vary, but they all agree it did not go well."

A number two comment on #MarginalRevolution: "So many writings about Proust disproportionately discuss the first book, the first page, the first sentence. It would be interesting to see a chart of where people who take up the book stop reading."

"One of Proust’s most successful narrative tricks, used with variations throughout the Search: he tells us in dazzling prose about his inability to write!"

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

#Proust : un fonds inédit à la BNF.

If you make a deal with the devil, it's called a "Faustian bargain," after a character in literature who got screwed by Satan -- as one does.
So if I want to remember something, and I don't write it down thinking that I won't forget, is that a "Proustian bargain"?
