Document Summary
Began in 1904 -- didn"t finish first draft until 1911. Prust -- 13 years old -- filled out a questionnaire -- filled it out again when he was 20 -- parlor game. Way -- refers to road, thoroughfare, avenue -- more literal - the way things are done -- one goes in one direction the other goes in the other. Starts in combray -- the whole novel starts at the end and then goes back. Language -- he is someone who writes very complex sentences and paragraphs -- combines similes and metaphors -- what his style is often like. Proust: the veil of mist was like the sleep of silence. Style -- tends to be parenthetical -- digressive -- things don"t unfold in a chronological manner -- his dialogue and description are combined quite often -- unique to his style that makes it more complex.
