Beyond the Recherche

Join your hosts Emma Claussen and Hannah Weaver for a bonus episode discussing the lasting influence of Proust on today's literary culture. We discuss memoirs, translations, and the transformative power of Proust, particularly two books that profoundly influenced our reading: Laure Murat's Proust, roman familial (forthcoming in English as Proust, A Family Romance) and Maria Stepanova's In Memory of Memory. Plus, we reveal what we appreciate in friends in our final round of the Proust Questionnaire.

Om Podcasten

Proust Curious is a podcast about the experience of reading À la recherche du temps perdu – all seven volumes. Written between 1906 and 1922, published between 1913 and 1927, Marcel Proust’s cultural touchstone is an object of enduring fascination and, let’s face it, intimidation. Hosted by Emma Claussen and Hannah Weaver, PhDs in French literature and decidedly not Proust experts.  Produced by Michael Goldsmith in partnership with Public Books; visit publicbooks.org.
