Marcel Proust was arguably France's best-known literary writer. He wrote stories, essays, translations and a 3,000-page novel, 'In Search of Lost Time'. This book is a brief guide to Proust's magnum opus in which Joshua Landy invites the reader to view the novel as a single quest - a quest for purpose, enchantment, identity, connection and belonging - through the novel's fascinating treatments of memory, society, art, same-sex desire, knowledge, self-understanding, self-fashioning and the unconscious mind.
