In Search of Lost Time
Across seven volumes a narrator recalls his childhood at Combray, his entry into Parisian society, and the jealousy that organizes his love for Albertine. Involuntary memory keeps handing back whole stretches of the past, complete, at the taste of a cake or the sound of a spoon. Time lost, and regained as art.
