A novel in seven volumes, Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time is
considered a major literary work of the twentieth century. And even more
crucially, one that you should have read by now. However, as one of its
most distinguishing features is its staggering length, many of us feel
intimidated and perhaps, even, fatigued at the thought of diving in.
Alain de Botton's hilarious and unexpected Proustian manual, is then,
the perfect antidote to this problem. In How Proust Can Change Your
Life, de Botton masterfully distils what Proust says about friendship,
reading, being alive and taking your time, and mixes it with his own, no
less nourishing commentary. As de Botton rereads Proust for our
collective benefit, we see the continued relevance of his work and the
rich and varied insights he can offer us, from how to reinvigorate your
relationship to being a good host.
This is Proust as you've never seen him before. He may even change your life.
