In this portrait, Edmund White, author of an acclaimed biography of Jean Genet and the much admired novel A Boy's Own Story displays a rare understanding of this most complex man. A strange, reclusive genius who often lay in bed for days at a time in his cork-lined room, obsessively rewriting his masterpiece, Remembrance of Things Past, Proust was at other times a tireless socialite, attending the grandest parties and dazzling the guests - especially the most important ones - with his vivacity and wit. White also depicts the yearning, lonely boy, the ambitious grasper after honors, and the miserably closeted homosexual, an aspect of his life that this book explores frankly and perceptively."--BOOK JACKET. 000349665 60010 $$aProust, Marcel,$$d1871-1922. 000349665 650_0 $$aNovelists, French$$y20th century$$vBiography. 000349665 830_0 $$aPenguin lives series. 000349665 85200 $$bgen$$hPQ2631.R63$$iZ982$$i1999 000349665 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:349665$$pGLOBAL_SET 000349665 980__ $$aBIB 000349665 980__ $$aBOOK
