Yep ! Proust really IS one of the best french author ever. If you get to like his work in some way, you'll never forget it ! A la recherche du temps perdu is such a dazzling experience... Well, I don't know how it turns out in english, but the writing of Proust is like a delicate, but immensely powerful mean to convey subtle emotions... And the period of history it depicts is so rich, and curious, and funny ^^ ! Well I guess Royal will explain better than me the incomparable charm of this masterpiece...

Well, Proust is my drug of choice... but you kinda said it all, dandyroro : can't think of anything to add ! ^^
Man, how I love the guy. I wish I'd been born with one crumb of his genius and wit : I would have gone far...
Plus, it's easy to count the people who had such an understanding and expertise of the french language, really : him and Marguerite Yourcenar, and that's all...
Kinda makes it hard to read anything written by the so called french intelligentsia these days.
