FYI: The Way of Swann
Marcel Proust was born in 1871
1 in Auteuil, a suburb of Paris, and
is today regarded one of France's
greatest authors. But did you know
that Swann's Way, the first book
in his masterpiece Remembrance
of Things Past, was published at
his own expense? (No publishers
were interested.)
Proust, the son of a gentile father
and a Jewish mother, was a frail
boy who, at his indulgent mother's

subject was France's upper-crust
society, with whom he loved to
mingle and at times almost wor-

the feet of Princess Mathilde,
I Napoleon's niece).
Soon enough, though, Proust

were anything but the extraordi-

imagined them to be. In his
books, Proust loved to reveal them
(many of his characters were
based on real figures) for who
they truly were — vain, shallow,

must have overlooked some of
those 1,000-Word sentences), and
