Dave (a k a Captain LBJ) saw that I was plowing through Proust’s “In Search of Lost Time.” And despite the LBJ hostage situation, he sent me an out-of-print guide to Proust that’s proving invaluable: “A Reader’s Guide to Proust,” by Milton Hindus.
It’s a great companion to “In Search of Lost Time” and I’m getting a lot more out of the book as a result. Highly recommended. And it appears there is a reprint of the 1962 book available.
