keefbaker 's review for:
Swann's Way
by Marcel Proust
This book was always going to be swimming against my tastes. It's about a type of people I don't like, set in a place I don't care about, set in a time period I actively hate. Add the fact that this is very much a, 'nothing happens', book and basically only the subtext and the actual word to word writing could have saved it for me. The fact that this gets 2 stars and is therefore 'OK', is a testament to the high quality of the text itself. I just unfortunately have no interest in any of the characters or setting or anything that happened.
