• The Proust Project (2004)
  For The Proust Project, editor André Aciman asked twenty-eight writers -- Alain de Botton, Diane Johnson, Edmund White, Lydia Davis, Richard Howard, Shirley Hazzard, and others--to choose a favorite passage from In Search of Lost Time and introduce it in a brief essay. Gathered together, along with the passages themselves (and a synopsis that guides the reader from one passage to the next), these essays form the perfect introduction to the greatest novel of the last century, and the perfect gift for any Proustian.
