Chekhov's Mistress
Is Proust Fest an Oxymoron?
Topics: Proust’s Birth Anniversary, reading at Mercantile Library of New York, Lydia Davis translation.
While Proust Fest Seems Like an Oxymoron, (He was hardly a festive fellow) The Proust Society of America and the Mercantile Library of New York are having just that on the occasion of his birthday, this Saturday, July 10th. The Proust-Fest consists of a marathon reading of the Combray sections of Swann’s Way from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. They are using the Lydia Davis translation, and I could be wrong, but I thought I saw a sign that said that Ms. Davis would be among the readers.
Reservations for 2 hour blocks of time are required. Call: (212) 755-6710. Admission is $5.
