Proustian Echoes
Books pervaded with a deep, elegiac yearning for lost time—like the first two volumes of Proust’s similarly titled novel.
Music to listen to:
- 1979, by The Smashing Pumpkins
Films to watch:
- The Long Day Closes, by Terence Davies
- Mirror, by Andrei Tarkovsky
- Wild Strawberries, by Ingmar Bergman
(I’ve added Proust to the list so that people can find it.)
(This was my attempt to cope with my overwhelming grief at being unable to find another book as good as those ones, which still hasn’t left me.)
