What would this book give me that W&P, AK and The Brothers Karamazov doesn't?
>>7727086
Yes. Twice. Once on my own, then once for school.
>>7727086
The Moncrief translation. I thought the prose was beautiful and the exploration of time and memory was fascinating. My favorite volumes were the second and the last.
>>7727094
What would any book give you that W&P, AK and TBK don't. According to you these are the only books one should read through his lifetime. Your argument is wrong on so many levels...
Waiting until I'm more confident in my French so I can read it in the original.

150 pages in the second volume, I am astounded by Proust's genius, what a great power of reflexion into the human condition so elegantly and lavishly put into prose.

Lacan ripped him off hard.

Best translation/edition?

Mais non Madame.

Not really. He was influenced by Proust, but so was every one. He ripped more off gombrowicz than anyone else.

>I can't discern facts in forum posts, let alone tackle a lengthy novel, so I'm going to try to drag others down to my level
>>7732996
Oh, so I am not the only one noticing the similarities between Gombro and Lacan?
Great.
Also - does anybody see the Gombrowicz and Levinas relation?

I like Swann's Way a lot. I read it in August and feel like now I have to reread it before going through the rest.
