Publisher's Summary
Considered one of the greatest, and most influential, writers of the 20th century, Marcel Proust was also one of its most fascinating figures. A strange, reclusive genius who often lay in bed for days at a time obsessively rewriting his masterpiece, Remembrance of Things Past, Proust was at other times a tireless socialite, attending the grandest parties and dazzling guests with his vivacity and wit. But as a boy Proust was yearning and lonely, an ambitious grasper after honors, and a miserably closeted homosexual, an aspect of his life that this book explores frankly and perceptively.

What the critics say
"A tale of 20th-century literature 'par excellence' that White makes fun, accessible, and insightful." (The Philadelphia Inquirer)
"White's biography of Proust is a paragon of the genre; an engrossing and delightful piece of work." (Norah Vincent, author of Self-Made Man)
"White's simple and elegantly written biography weaves literary criticism with respectful insight and will appeal to general readers as well as scholars." (Library Journal)
