A series of short, deft meditations, as musical as they are incisive, Jean Fremon's Proustiennes wander beautifully around the edges of Marcel Proust's work. From meditations on Beckett to exploration of key moments in Proust's lesser known Jean Santeuil to thoughts about Proust and music, Fremon's keen pen touches on details that others might dismiss as insignificant and makes them shimmer, showing the hidden complexities to be found not only in Proust's oeuvre, but in life itself.
