The Quest for Proust

Neither Marcel Proust nor his biographer, André Maurois, needs any introduction. In shaping this magnificent study of the strange, inverted author of “Remembrance of Things Past”, M. Maurois has employed previously unpublished letters and notebooks. It is a book for all to read. “It is a tremendous apologia for Proust as well as a lively and packed biography, and as a portrait of an extraordinary genius could not be more readable and sympathetic.” – V. S. Pritchett in the “Bookman”
