Volume 2 of George Painter's monumental biography continues
Proust's story from his father's death in 1903 to his own death in 1922. It describes the loss of his beloved mother, the eating of the madeleine that inspired "A la Recherche du Temps Perdu," his love for the young chauffeur Agostinelli, the fame that came to him late in life, and finally his race against time to complete his masterwork. Many of Painter's sources are used here for the first time.
