More copies of this ISBNThis title in other editionsThe Year of Reading Proust: A Memoir in Real Timeby Phyllis Rose
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:From the author of "Parallel Lives" comes a brilliant memoir of midlife, in which, while learning how to navigate the intricacies of Proust's novels, Rose reflects on the course of her own life. Book News Annotation:Rose, author of Parallel Lives and Jazz Cleopatra employs
Proust less as the subject of her rambling memoir than as a reference
point, using his observations to review one year in her life, where,
for example, her friend Annie Dillard has a cancer scare, Rose fights
with a landlady over potted palms and banana trees, prepares a dinner
honoring Salman Rushdie, and recounts her mother moving toward death.
The desire for originality and its difficulty, and attempts to stop
passing time are among the Proustian themes Rose ponders. No index,
bibliography, or notes.
