batcountry101 's review for:

Swann's Way by Marcel Proust

4.0

---

If there were the polar opposite of the literary style of Hemingway, it would be Proust. His attention to detail and understanding of the human mindset is simply astounding. This book is not for everyone, and challenged me at times. In challenged, I mean ...simply exhausted me. I very glad I stuck with it, and I hope to get back to the remainder of the series from time to time.

I also highly recommend this translation. From what I have read, it is vastly superior to the other commonly available translation.
