Perfect Guide to Proust

I've always had this problem with 19th century European novels - especially the Russians - I can never remember all the names. Even if I recognize a name, I can't remember who that person is or how they relate to other people in the book. Proust's novel - with 400 characters was just a nightmare. I spent more time trying to remind myself of the characters than in following the story. "Who's Who in Proust" has changed my life. I keep it beside my bed and it is always there when a new character appears - or when an old one reappears. Now I can focus on the plot!

"Who's Who" really helped me.

I read Kirk McElhearn's review on his blog at Kirkville and decided to give it a go because I only pick-up Proust's novel to read from time to time and then I can't remember who any of the characters are and I waste time hunting back in the book to remind myself. This book "Who's Who" is brilliant. It's got little thumbnails of everybody in the novel so now I know who everyone is. Also - I'm sure I learned about French history at school - but who remembers? This book has quick reminders about stuff we've all forgotten - like the Dreyfus Affair (?) duh!

There are so many characters in Proust's novel that I can never remember who they are. My problem is that I sometimes go weeks or even months without having time to read the novel so when I pick it up again I am totally lost. On top of that, they all seem to have a variety of different names - Like Charlus is sometimes Palamède, or The Baron, or Meme. It's really confusing. Who's Who in Proust makes it all so much easier and now I just flip through the alphabetical list to remind myself of who's who.

"It does what it says on the can"

I have been reading Proust's novel for a while now but I sometimes have to put it down for months at a time to read other books. When I pick it up again it is often very difficult to remember who some of the characters are, where we last heard of them and how they fitted in to the story. This slim, easy-to use volume is the perfect companion to have alongside for reference.

Alexander's fresh, informal but highly informative style is a pleasure to read. In addition to Proust's characters he provides valuable geographical information and a clear social context of the period. He has a clear knowledge of French history, society and contemporary literature.

This book is a very useful resource for all lovers of Proust
