Quote from: foxandpeng on Today at 04:16:25 AMThere's no doubt that Proust writes wonderfully descriptive prose. His extended observations of laggard cornflowers, primroses, forget-me-nots, strawberry-flowers and the fleecy clouds and crimson sunsets, mean that it is satisfying in the same way that Mme Bovary is satisfying, or Hardy is satisfying.
It would just be nice if something meaningful actually happened.
Quote from: SimonNZ on Today at 04:14:36 AMSeriously: I'm going to need you to PM what you mean by this.@Mandryka probably means the barely disguised scene of lesbian sex between Vinteuil's daughter and another woman, which takes place in the presence of a portrait of Vinteuil. It's in Swann. (See, I do remember a bit... )

Quote from: Mandryka on Today at 04:02:36 AMRe Elstir, I like the bit of mashed potatoe in the Vermeer.
The key moment involves two ladies and a photo. You guys are clearly reading it for ideas, I'm reading it for the sex.
Quote from: Florestan on Today at 03:31:12 AM... I'm afraid that paragraph's significance would have escaped me anyway....but not it's (poetic) beauty...
Quote from: SimonNZ on Today at 03:37:25 AMOkay. I'm going to need you to PM me which one that is as well.
I think the second volume is the most page turning and easiest to love and has at least a half dozen of the most important scenes. But I don't immediately know which one you mean.
