Proustiennes

Jean Frémon, translation Brian Evenson

Proustiennes follows Erik Satie's Gnossiennes—brief, deft explorations of a theme. Jean Frémon traces Marcel Proust's influence through hawthorns, soirées, and clairvoyance to attitudes on closure, bringing the fin-de-siècle world of Paris's belle époque into conversation with today.
