A review by zach_l
How Proust Can Change Your Life by Alain de Botton

3.0

This is a very hard book to review. On the one hand, the book reads kind of like an ambitious undergrad's (long) essay where the prompt is the book's title. On the other hand, there are some pretty interesting moments and reflections that made me think and reflect (maybe even worth a reread someday). Mostly it was hard to know when the author was abstracting/reading too much into Proust's writing.
