This book tackles his achievement head-on. Art, death, sex, politics, loss, guilt, morality--Proust's major themes are revealed and explained here. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eProust Among the Stars\u003c\/i\u003e is a matchless close reading of \u003ci\u003eRemembrance of Things Past\u003c\/i\u003e and a lesson in how to read the great books profitably and pleasurably. Malcolm Bowie asserts that Proust's novel is one of the great exercises in speculative imagining in the world's literature; and that its originality lies first in the quality of Proust's textual invention, page after page, line after line. Proust's world constantly shimmers with a sense of multiple possibilities and is at the same time infused with the urge to order, obsessively to organize. Bowie examines how Proust achieves this in his writing, as opposed to his themes, plots, or theories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn original, beautiful, and deeply moving book, \u003ci\u003eProust Among the Stars\u003c\/i\u003e shows how Proust's work deepens our understanding of our lives and ourselves.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Proust Among the Stars | Malcolm Bowie | Paperback | 9780231114912 | Used: Good | Literary Criticism 1785201 (temp: 27)","offer_id":50776519573762,"sku":"1785201","price":22.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/91UL1sUrtkL.jpg?v=1792153680","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/proust-among-the-stars","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
