A review by henrismum
How Proust Can Change Your Life by Alain de Botton
funny
informative
slow-paced
3.25
Non-fiction
Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
Why I added this book to my TBR pile: I put this on my Audible wish list years and years ago. I finally bought it during the last 60% off sale. I was attracted by the title and by the fact that I know close to nothing about Proust.
Will I read more by this author / about this subject?Probably Not Maybe Definitely
This was a nice introduction to the French writer. I could have learned a lot more if I took notes and if my attention was focused solely on the book. I am curious to know more about Proust, but I don't think I have as much time to give him as he deserves.
No, Proust did not change my life, but I believe he can or could or may or might.
Sometimes both Proust and the author seemed snobby but each would redeem themselves.
The narrator was Nicholas Bell. Great voice for the subject.
