For those of you unfamiliar with Proust's monolithic work, The Remembrance of Things Past, this 3,000+ page novel spans three generations of Parisian social life at the turn of the century. It's set in motion by the narrator having tea with his Aunt Léonie. The taste of madeleines dipped in her favorite lime-blossom decoction sends him rocketing back in time until he comes to rest in the garden of a childhood summer evening. Running across an old toy can have the same astounding effect, even if you don't spend thousands of pages writing about it. |
