Odette Carotte

Reading the Penguin Proust in English, like a glutton

4 notes

One day last summer, after grad school ended and while Funemployment was in full swing, I got to thinking I should create a Tumblr to be more in touch with youth culture. (Yes, really.) 

One year ago today, I decided to dedicate my blog-life to Proust. And I have never looked back! JE NE REGRETTE RIEN, MON PETIT MARCEL. 

Could you have imagined, Marcel, that vulgar American women would be scouring the Internet for photos of Fortuny dresses to better understand your writing decades after you died?
