“Proust has become the premier novelist of the 20th century. Every aspect of his uneventful but hugely productive life has been studied.... Christopher Prendergast’s splendid new book, Living and Dying With Marcel Proust, revisits all the various threads woven into this intricate tapestry. Sometimes reading him feels like, say, seeing all of Venice in a gondola, seated beside a patient, smiling, all-knowing art historian.”
