"Proust is less the subject of Rose's pleasurable, rambling memoir than its guiding spirit, whose wisdom and worldview Rose invokes as she reviews the travails and satisfactions of a year in her life."

Kirkus, 08/15/1997

"[A] book that uses Proust's name as a piece of elegant and rather deceptive scaffolding holding up a personal memoir, one which might just as well have been called 'The Year of Reading Dostoevsky' for all the insight it gives us into Proust's work....Though so many recent memoirs...have been catalogs of domestic horror, Rose's details a completely ordinary existence in so far as one can ever use the term 'ordinary' to describe the life of a prosperous East Coast intellectual at the close of the 20th century."

Alain De Botton, Los Angeles Times Book Review, 10/05/1997
