mikeprevatt 's review for:
Swann's Way
by Marcel Proust
It starts great. And all of it is beautifully, insightfully written. But the story of Swann failed to move me. And it wasn't always easy to see the connection/parallel between Swann and Marcel. Honestly, I just wanted Marcel to talk about himself.
The biggest problem for me is the social setting: well-to-do 19th century types being nosy and boring in and out of gatherings. The social criticism isn't enough for me. And the cultural disconnect isn't helping matters. Think I'm done with this type of fiction.
