The Book of LamentationsCastellanos, Rosario
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
This book takes the autobiographical narrator of Swann's Way from childhood through adolescence.
"'Swann's Way' is not a book to read on the train, skipping over the pages with one eye on the landscape; it is a book of true originality and profundity to the point of strangeness, claiming the reader's attention and even seizing it forcibly....A novel of analysis, yes; but I know of few novels in which the analysis penetrates so deep. At times you want to cry out, 'Enough!' as to a surgeon who spares no detail in describing an operation. Yet you never say it. You keep on turning the pages feverishly in order to see further into the souls of these characters."
Elie-Joseph Bois, Le Temps, 11/13/1913
Review:"It is a picture of a society that is overcultured and neurotic, highly-strung and anemic, but interesting, human, amusing, civilized."
Burton Rascoe, New York Herald Tribune (1924-1966), 11/26/1922
