You'll enjoy the pleasant scenes and emotions Proust describes. That's right, the emotive effects just may not be so readily conveyed in a graphic novel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-58123284262754670322015-07-25T08:36:19.908-04:002015-07-25T08:36:19.908-04:00Arabella - Ha!

Have you ever watched Black Books, there was a great moment when Dylan Moran described Proust it went something like: "he is a French bloke, wakes up, has a biscuit, thinks what did I do yesterday? for 3000 pages. Brilliant very French". and that about sums it up. The graphic novel looks like a good idea.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824748902803492123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-25495736542999510312015-07-24T21:30:45.469-04:002015-07-24T21:30:45.469-04:00Vasilly - I know we're not alone.... that'...Vasilly - I know we're not alone.... that's probably why they published something like this in the first place ;-)JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-73700591524363165072015-07-24T21:27:41.057-04:002015-07-24T21:27:41.057-04:00That's the only way I'll read Proust too!That's the only way I'll read Proust too!Vasillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463689838763126048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-25487577889174234242015-07-24T21:03:36.618-04:002015-07-24T21:03:36.618-04:00James - I love it!!James - I love it!!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-4632207162403549442015-07-24T18:02:53.389-04:002015-07-24T18:02:53.389-04:00There's a story about two of the Mitford siste...There's a story about two of the Mitford sisters very late in life. <br /><br />One complains that she has never taken literature seriously enough and asks if it's too late to start reading Proust. <br /><br />The other says, "God, I hope so." <br /><br />;=)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-90053005670198030732015-07-24T09:12:56.910-04:002015-07-24T09:12:56.910-04:00Brilliant!!Brilliant!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-6320854647747538182015-07-23T14:45:14.326-04:002015-07-23T14:45:14.326-04:00Beth F - P&P is the only graphic classic I'...Beth F - P&P is the only graphic classic I've read... and I hated the artwork :(JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-31622213389314651252015-07-23T14:44:11.738-04:002015-07-23T14:44:11.738-04:00Midlife Roadtripper - Kind of like Proust lite? ;-...Midlife Roadtripper - Kind of like Proust lite? ;-)JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-84753811070404423062015-07-23T14:43:35.237-04:002015-07-23T14:43:35.237-04:00Louise - I've always been too intimidated to e...Louise - I've always been too intimidated to even try Proust... hope you can find this Down Under :)JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-23403010810256597942015-07-23T14:42:39.433-04:002015-07-23T14:42:39.433-04:00Patty - I agree.

I tried to read it once and I think abandoned after 5 pages or so. This would be perfect. Thanks so much for posting and sharing. Now to track it down in Australia.
