About this product
Product Information
The celebrated novelist and influential cultural critic's classic biography of one of history's most important writers, Marcel Proust If there is anyone worthy of producing an intimate biography of the enigmatic genius behind Remembrance of Things Past , it is Edmund White, himself an award- winning writer for whom Marcel Proust has long been an obsession. White introduces us not only to the recluse endlessly rewriting his one massive work through the night, but also the darling of Parisian salons, the grasper after honors, and the closeted homosexual-a subject this book is the first to explore openly. From the frothiest gossip to the deepest angst, here is a moving portrait to be treasured by anyone looking for an introduction to this literary icon.

Reviews
A tale of twentieth-century literature ‘par excellence’ that White makes fun, accessible, and insightful.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer White’s biography of Proust is a paragon of the genre; an engrossing and delightful piece of work.” —Norah Vincent, author of Self-Made Man, "A tale of twentieth-century literature 'par excellence' that White makes fun, accessible, and insightful." - The Philadelphia Inquirer "White's biography of Proust is a paragon of the genre; an engrossing and delightful piece of work." -Norah Vincent, author of Self-Made Man, "White has a novelist's eye for the telling detail or the remarkable phrase and, like Proust himself, concentrates upon the minutiae of the past so that it might live again. He has a wonderful sympathy with his subject, adduced in such reflections as ''Proust fancied that so long as he failed to begin his life's work, his life would go on.'' -- Peter Ackroyd, The New York Times Book Review "White's deft prose is densely packed with information but never burdensome. He gives a good sense of why Proust's work is valuable, and why it remains eternally fresh." -- Washington Post "A tale of twentieth-century literature 'par excellence' that White makes fun, accessible, and insightful." -The Philadelphia Inquirer "White's biography of Proust is a paragon of the genre; an engrossing and delightful piece of work." -Norah Vincent, author of Self-Made Man, "A tale of twentieth-century literature 'par excellence' that White makes fun, accessible, and insightful." -The Philadelphia Inquirer "White's biography of Proust is a paragon of the genre; an engrossing and delightful piece of work." -Norah Vincent, author of Self-Made Man

Item was delivered as advertised however it was not delivered in a box which allowed it to receive some minor damage. Book was in 2 very durable form fitted vinyl/plastic bags which would have been great had then been placed in a box to protect it. Seller was very easy to discuss issue with and the damage is slight. I would buy again from this seller.

Not standard size, used; priced like new standard size. Seller refused to pay return shipping for not-standard item, not noted in listing. I learned not to buy a book without a listed size; could be anything.
