Is Proust worth reading? What will I get out of it?
>>24696214I haven't read Proust, but I think you can expect a whole heck of a lot of words.
>>24696214>Is Proust worth reading?Yes>What will I get out of it?An appreciation for your loved ones, insight into how your senses affect your feelings, new perspectives on certain forms of art, a cordial disdain for fags, regrets over teenage love, and learn to stay away from bi bpd whores
>>24696214Yes. Supreme aesthetic experience.
>>24696267>a cordial disdain for fagsbut he was a fag
>Is Proust worth reading? No>What will I get out of it?Tedium
you know when you're reading about a book and some absolute faggot says how they had to put the book down and just sit there and think about what they just read because it was so beautifully written? yeah that happened to me with Proust and Proust alone. it's probably the best writing i've ever read.
>>24696353Sure was, and as such had the peculiar insight to make an accurate and therefore less than flattering portrayal of them
>>24696365Yup.
>>24696214You are a room with no walls of its own, defined by the retards you ask for for advice.
A boring faggot. Even French find his prose boring.
>>24696361>guys know when faggots do this thing>well I did this thing>but I want you to know I know that's a thing that faggots do so you still think I'm coolChrist, /lit/ is pathetic.
>>24696837>his prose boringNo shit Proustian periods are a hard filter. It's not entertainment
>>24696854It is if you are neurotic love-obsessed diarist fag like narrator, then it's "literally me" book
>>24696214I read swann's way and loved it. will read the rest soon. Bro spends 17 pages talking about how he sleeps on one side but used to sleep on the other side.
>>24698860Didn't he spend a whole chapter talking about how it feels eating a madeleine with tea
>>246962141500 pages to say that Dudule sodomizes Totor is a bit much.T. Celine
>>24699053yeah it's the centerpiece of the novel and it's spectacular.
>>24696844That anon called himself a faggot. Not sure why you think that’s trying to be cool. It’s gay. >muh state of /lit/You should scrape the cum off your teeth before waddling into here, tourist.
Why did Proust become a huge hit while Henry James didn't despite innovating the form of the novel decades sooner and far more radically than Proust ever did?
