I felt like Proust's mamma during the last 70 days. I couldn't ignore his plea for one more kiss - such a little boy, such huge, huge eyes. Yet, what a drain, that one! Ironic, that after 4200 pages of examination of the minutiae of a lifetime, Proust's In Search of Lost Time should leave me at the same train station, the same seaside resort, as Shunryu Suzuki's Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind. Two paths, as with Swann's Way and Guermantes Way, yet whether I recline in a beach chair, or sit in the lotus position on a towel, I similarly reflect on the sadness of suffering and impermanence, the preciousness of the present moment, that all is vanity, and, maybe it's just the sunlight, maybe it's always just the sunlight, but in reflecting I am yet at peace. So many words? Or, stopping thinking, no words? Same mind. Your mind, my mind, Proust's mind. Yet at the same time different...perhaps as much as arousal and enlightenment...for how come I smile at the thought of a Zen roshi whacking M. de Charlus with a stick? So far, I have to say that I'm appreciating this book more than the last. The first novel in this collection seems to be about the narrator's obsessive jealous, which is a far more interesting topic than why Mme. Verdurin wants to invite M. de Charlus to her dinner parties or not, which is what it seemed at times the entirety of "Cities of the Plain" was about. Obsession is almost always good copy. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Proust's masterpiece is one of the seminal works of the twentieth century, recording its narrator's experiences as he grows up, falls in love and lives through the First World War. A profound reflection on art, time, memory, self and loss, it is often viewed as the definitive modern novel. C. K. Scott Moncrieff's famous translation from the 1920s is today regarded as a classic in its own right and is now available in three volumes in Penguin Classics.
