| Review | "Edmund White gives us not only the life of Proust, but a masterly explanation of why he, among so many others, admires the perfection of his writing." "White also shows a rare understanding of the strange, reclusive personality of this charismatic genius, who would lie in bed in his cork-lined room, obsessively rewriting his one massive work all night long. We also see the yearning, lonely boy; the brilliant wit and socialite; the ambitious grasper after honours; and the miserably closeted homosexual, an aspect of his life which this book will be the first to explore openly." "Edmund White's portrait is certain to send readers back to the work of Proust himself."--Jacket |
