(france) Henry Rassimov

56K0

"Dear Proust Is Leaving Tonight" tells the story of the great writer Proust who spent the last part of his life writing "In Search of Lost Time". This book tells the story of Proust's last days before his death. Death is approaching, but as a great writer, he still thinks about his works. In his opinion, "In Search of Lost Time" will never be finished. It is a work that is constantly developing, a hungry larva that keeps eating Proust's flesh and soul. However, for him, only after writing the last word of "In Search of Lost Time" could he dare to let go of all ties to the world and die without worries. This book breaks the barriers of the biography genre itself, using clear and calm, serious and humorous writing to describe how great writers used writing to resist death. There are both serious historical materials before Proust's death, as well as various interesting gossips.
