TIP,Th

viewer for The Jerusalem Post, "because
we are both concerned about recollec-
tion and memory. He was a very great
writer and ... a Jew who dealt with the
modern condition."
Similarly, memoirist Andre Aciman,
author of Out of Egypt and False Papers:
Essays on Exile and Memory, proudly
admits to his literary debts to Proust.
Like Proust, Aciman seeks to recapture
in memory and in writing the lost world
of his youth — in Aciman's case, the
Jewish milieu of Alexandria, Egypt,
between the 1920s and early 1960s.
"The theme of memory, the theme of
returning, is not only Proustian but very
Jewish," Aciman said a recent telephone
interview. "This is an ongoing Jewish
motif You are always in passing, you
cannot make time permanent, and the
only way you can make memories or
time last is by putting it on paper."
But the flip side of claiming Proust as
a Jewish writer is that anti-Semites also
have used Proust's Jewish background to
slur him.
For instance, in letters to his friend
Nancy Mitford, British author Evelyn
Waugh dubs Proust "a mental defective,"
and asks, "How Jewish was Proust?
...Did his parents go to synagogue? If he
was a real Jew it would surely be quite
impossible for him to know the haute-
bourgeoisie." Waugh's prejudice could
not be more obvious. Yet his most
famous [and best] novel, Brideshead
Revisited, can quite accurately be
described as "Proustian."
Similarly, Carter points out, the
French writer Louis-Ferdinand Celine,
who was not only anti-Semitic but a
German collaborator during World War
II, was in many ways the anti-Proust,
and yet his novels are strongly influ-
enced by Proust.
No doubt, Proust, a master of irony,
would have had a field day with this
paradox. As for me, I'll brew some tea
and curl up with my well-thumbed copy
of Remembrance of Things Past.
And rather than choose between a
petite madeleine or rugelach, I'll nibble
on them both. L__2
