He wrote some sequels
yeah i mean by other authors?
>sequels
Names?
That retard means Volumes 2-7. Idk why people like that browse this board.
I wish this dude would stop talking about the men. I really don't give a shit about the nostalgia-driven fantasies of a syphilitic homosexual dying in a trench. I'd MUCH rather read about all the lesbians. The narrator spends so much time worrying about Albertine having lesbian sex, or Gilberte getting seduced by the milfy actress. But we only see it happen a few times, iirc! In fact, Albertine never even bothers to confirm she's fucking Andree, even though we KNOW they are having lesbian orgies EVERY DAY while in Balbec!
And yeah, I'm aware of the interpretation that these characters actually represent homosexual young men. That's shameful and embarrassing! Lesbians are a pure, perfect representation of human sexuality, while male homosexuals are pathetic and sad creatures which deserve only our contempt.
a man wrote this.
Correct.
I'm a MAN. I don't want to see two males having sex, that would be gay. Seeing a man and a woman having sex is a bit better, but I'm still having to look at the one male specimen. It's a near occasion of homosexuality. And don't come to me with that retarded, 'hurr youre supposed to self-insert' bullshit. That's just one degree off of cuckold fetish.
Ah, but lesbians! With lesbians, I don't have have to see any men. It's just women, engaging in pure sex. There's no male homosexuality involved. I want to see more of that. I'm not interested in Proust's angst over wanting to be defiled by older men.

The sort of girls who are lesbos are typically overweight
The same goes for gay males. You’re thinking of the US after all
I really, really, really like this image. Mind if I save it?
That's fine, this is why we have FICTION.
If that's your reaction to lesbian sex, go to therapy.
That's even more gay because it trains you to self insert as the woman. But keep coping.
hey it's the red scare girls

I'm autistically trying to get the best translation for this, what I have:
* The Vintage International version, Moncrieff updated/revised by Kilmarten (I think this one is the best, but I only have the physical version, not ebook, which saddens me.
* The Moncrieff version updated by Enright via Kilmarten (pretty decent update, but lacks something I don't know what)
* The Penguin version translated by Lydia Davis. (This one seems to be the most clearly communicated text but... I still like the Kilmartin update)
What's your favorite?
Moncrieff's perfectly serviceable.
The Penguin versions are the most literal
davis is the most word-for-word, as another commenter has said. this works well for her translation of Bovary but is uneven for Proust in my opinion. I would say go Moncrieff with Carter's annotations. it's the version that's most influential in the anglophone world. if you see another english language writer reference proust, this is the version they're referencing.
the original unrevised moncrieff titled remembrance of things past is the best one
I liked the Davis better but you're going to have to deal with Moncrieff at some point since she's only doing the first book and I don't know why you'd fuck with an "update" unless you don't want to be bothered learning the amusing slang of yesteryear.
Does anyone know where you can download the Carter annotated volumes of ISOLT (OP's image shows volume 1)? I can only find volume 2. I know that he's not finished with ISOLT yet, volume 5-6 should be coming out this or next month iirc.
It's great and im not even gay
My Struggle by Karl Ove Knausgaard is really the closest thing. Completely different, but also the most similar that exists.
Pardon the “comics” heavy list, but they *something* like it.
Jerusalem, Moore
Lanark, Gray
American Splendor, Pikar
Cerberus, Sim
There's a couple of Felisberto Hernández' stories where it seems he read Proust and understood quite literally that objects can be containers of memories. Search for the story about the piano teacher, can't be arsed to look for it right now.
Inland by Gerald Murnane. But he solely focuses upon the metaphysical and memory
This is shit, so no idea why the retard recommended it.
You are retarded
Read better books, fag.
There are no better books
Even YA is better than Murshit
Retard
>seethes when people find Murnane shit
>defends murnane
>spams murnane
>calls other people retarded
Interesting
You have never read Murnane
What was that, you insecure homosexual? Oh yeah, your glorified YA aussie is super obscure …
You think he is worse than YA and have bought 3 of his books? Lmao retard.
Barth is trash too.
>reddit spacing
>barth is trash too
So at least we are in agreement that your glorified YA writer, Murnane, is trash. You also have not read Barth
>retard doesn't know what redditspacing is
I should have guessed. I should also have guessed that some retarded postmodern shitter would object to Murnane because he is more experimental and profound than the dreck they read.
doesn't know what redditspacing is
Yes, we know that about you already
You don't know what redditspacing is newfag retard
Absolutely kek at Murshit fags being genuine retards.
Based retard
The sequels?
What is this pic even supposed to be?
Fond memories of maman’s homemade Madeleines
It's the pastry which starts his fond recollections of some relatively minor guy who did some stuff years before he was even born.
Swann's Way in a nutshell
>Wow, this pastry is good. Mmmmm
>This reminds me of that one israeli incel guy I vaguely knew from way back. Good times, good times.
the greatest novel ever written on the face of this goddamned planet...
Not literature
The sequels.
In terms of prose, later Henry James
James sux
t. corncob
Nabokov Ada, Memoirs of the Duc de St Simon
no one comes close to Proust.
Maybe Balzac could fill in some time?
Proust is trash
