We apply "classic" and "masterpiece" too liberally but regardless of how loosely or strictly we deploy the terms Marcel's Proust's extraordinary novel belongs to the shortest of short lists deserving such description. At the risk of hyperbole though I do not think it is hyperbolic Proust is the one writer of the 20th century who perhaps belongs to the ages more than to his own time who belongs with Shakespeare and Dante and Homer. Many are put off Proust by not understanding the structure of his work and his writing strategy. The book to many seems to have no point and no plot. The novel actually does have a plot albeit a simple and not easy to discern one: Will the narrator usually termed "Marcel" become a writer Through seven long volumes we watch Marcel variously resolve to write and then forsake his resolve we see him even forget for enormous lengths of time his intent to write. Through love affairs through events with his friends through reflections on all matter of subjects and experiences of every kind Marcel finally comes in the final volume to rediscover his vocation and the subject of his work.
