Also, as I looked at the bottom of your post, I saw your review of James Joyce's The Dead. Instead of leaving a comment there, maybe I'll share it here. I'd the same feeling as I read <em>Dubliners</em>, at first I was a bit apprehensive, but as I went through it I really enjoyed the literary style and the stories. Which is just about how I'm feeling now reading Proust. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-57685379593997456522013-04-16T12:32:25.413-04:002013-04-16T12:32:25.413-04:00I think this story sounds very interesting.
