Why do people gush over Proust? I'd rather visit a demented relative Germaine Greer Culture The Guardian
I love this articel by Germaine Greer. I too have failed to grasp the greatness of Proust. I've tried to read the first book many times, and even tried to listen to it on the Naxos audiobook. Nothing works. I tend to forget the point of what I'm reading by the time I get to the end, something that is compounded listening to it in audiobook form. I think many of the people who claim to love Proust are fibbing or have never read it at all.
