About

A place to introduce and celebrate people who have made important contributions to Proust studies or whose own talents and creations intersect or connect with Proust and his works. We now have three guests: a scholar and mystery writer who are one and the same person, an artist, and a young singer.

Because Proust and his novel are so well known throughout the world and because his works are often inspire others, we anticipate that this guest lodge will soon bustle and thrive as it becomes crowded with new arrivals.

Discussion

“The only true voyage of discovery, the only really rejuvenating experience, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to see the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to see the hundred universes that each of them sees, that each of them is; and this we can do with an Elstir, with a Vinteuil; with men like these we do really fly from star to star.”
—The Captive 5:343.
