About this product
Product Information
'Startlingly audacious.' Literary Review New writing from the literary master Throughout Proust's life, nine of his short stories remained unseen - the writer never even spoke of them. Perhaps he was not ready to share the early themes he was nurturing for his masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time . Or perhaps, in dealing directly with gay desire, they were too audacious - too near to life - for the censorious society of the time. In these stories, published in English for the first time, we find an intimate portrait of a young author full of darkness, complexity and melancholy, longing to reveal himself to the world.

Reviews
'An aspiring writer in search of perfection, already preoccupied by the idea of transforming life into literature.', 'Finely translated and startlingly audacious... Elements of [Proust's] greatness are already in place: his ability to combine the qualities of the satirist and the moralist; his curiosity about the workings of the human heart. There is even the first glimpse of his lasting discovery - that art, thought and analysis can draw the thorn of suffering.', 'Revelatory... offers a lush and emotionally raw view into [Proust's] evolution as a writer. The nine entries, annotated by footnotes, address topics such as love and suffering, homosexuality, and, of course, time lost and regained... The stories have plenty of scholarly appeal, but they are elegant on their own... Each tale features exquisite moments with expert annotations from Friasse. This volume is a fantastic discovery.', 'The newly published stories collected in "The Mysterious Correspondent"... are fascinating as clues to Proust's limitations.', 'Finely translated and startlingly audacious...Elements of [Proust's] greatness are already in place: his ability to combine the qualities of the satirist and the moralist; his curiosity about the workings of the human heart.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
