    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 fricking 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.

        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 moronic, '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.

            That's fine, this is why we have FICTION.

            That's even more gay because it trains you to self insert as the woman. But keep coping.

            If that's your reaction to lesbian sex, go to therapy.

    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?

      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 frick 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.

    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.

            So at least we are in agreement that your glorified YA writer, Murnane, is trash. You also have not read Barth

            I should have guessed. I should also have guessed that some moronic postmodern shitter would object to Murnane because he is more experimental and profound than the dreck they read.
